Officially Golf became a major sport last year, so now the team members do not quite pay for everything themselves. But Harvard facilities are still meager: a one-man practice net in Dillon Field House. The team practices at The Country Club in Brookline and plays at the Myopia Hunt Club, 45 minutes from Cambridge. As a result, golfers are continually looking for some new illicit place to knock out a few balls...
...possible and it is not right," he" declared, "to neglect a people's hopes because the ocean is vast, or their culture is alien, or their language may be strange, or their race different, or their skin another color. The economic net work of this shrinking globe is too intertwined, the political order of continents is too involved with one another, the threat of common disaster is too real for all human beings to say of Asia-or any other continent-'Yours is another sphere...
...horror of his rivals-who keep insisting that theater is an art because they don't know how to run it as a business-Merrick has produced 22 moneymakers and eleven smash hits.

Only buildings owned by non-profit or limited dividend organizations (unions or churches, for example) would be subsidized. By thus supplementing its existing public housing...
Lithgow stages this tale of a soldier bargaining with the devil and learning better, with whimsy verging on burlesque. Lithgow himself plays the devil as a slithery eccentric who goes after souls with a butterfly net.

Philip Heckscher, the soldier, is appropriately ingenuous but his voice often betrays uncomfortable strain. Jane Mushabac has choreographed the play. Her group dances have wit but become overly frantic when Lithgow's devil gets...
