...Charles Olsen, who directed the production, chose to accent the melodrama, which is a good idea for most of Miller's plays.

Swinging through the humming steel towns of Pennsylvania last week, TIME Correspondent Jack Olsen reported: "A reporter going in to interview the steelworkers about baseball's Pirates would have a snap. The men devote their off-hour attention to the fact that Harvey Haddix is pitching or Bill Virdon hit a homer. But when it comes to the steel labor negotiations, they do not know what is going on. They do not understand the issues. They do not know what they want. They have a vague idea that their pension plan needs strengthening. Some of them talk about shorter...
