...jibes at Freud or at the organization man, typified by Daisy's slick boyfriend. These humorous tidbits bear no relation to the main line of the play, and one suspects that bringing in Mort Sahl for a few ten minute interludes would be far more effective. The songs which occur during these offshots suffer also from dramatic anemia...

Taken to court, Mrs. Placente ended the day with a trial date in November. It seems likely that many more scofflaws will soon be in the same...
