...George Bernard Shaw once penned, "This writing of plays is a great matter," and nothing could be more the case at a Canadian theater festival named in his honor. The Shaw Festival will stage eight plays from March 31 through Nov. 11 in its three theaters in Niagara-on-the-Lake, on the Ontario peninsula, just 20 miles from the falls. Two are by G.B.S.--The Doctor's Dilemma and The Apple Cart--and the rest are by Luigi Pirandello, J.B. Priestley, Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde.

McCain refuses to see how small the world...

Measuring Niagara with a Teaspoon, benefits greatly from her title and written explication--"Georgian silver spoon drawn to the height of Niagara Falls." Likewise, Measuring Liberty with a Dollar, made of a silver dollar drawn into a wire the height of the Statue of Liberty, is not primarily a visual experience. If we didn't have Parker's clever titles and explanations, one work might easily be cast aside as a messy tangle of wire, while the other, neatly coiled, has only some nice, simple formal qualities...
