...dark face of Mariel continues to overshadow the scene. In December, Universal Studios will release Scarface, a film featuring Actor Al Pacino as a Marielito drug dealer. Despite that land of negative image, the honest Cubans working hard in their new home seem to have faith that the true picture of the Marielitos will emerge. "The spirit of the Cuban boat people has not been beaten," says Cuban Artist Alberto de Lama. "They are not an amorphous mass. They are a much suffering people, with deep fears, desperate hopes and dreams of freedom." Says Miami Assistant City Manager Cesar Odio...
...leaders signed an agreement to protect their 2,000-mile common border from pollution. Reagan announced that the U.S. would extend commodity credits so that Mexico could buy more American agricultural produce during the current drought. But foreign policy seemed to overshadow everything else. Playing down the differences, U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz said that both countries were in agreement "at the level of general principle," but held divergent views about "particular tactical moves."

...brief tour of the world, then, does little to inspire optimism. And these broad problems overshadow equally pernicious dilemmas such as human rights, hunger and poverty. Yet two underlying facts, if properly understood and acted upon, could constitute, the hope for tomorrow.

Peter Howard brilliantly captures Constantine's internal agitation; Claudia Silver is dazzling in her portrayal of his vain, cruel, but basically insecure mother; and Molly White plays the brooding and morose Masha with frightening conviction. Nina Bernstein as Nina Zarechny and Benajah Cobb as the old writer Trigorin are also...
...Marriage of Figaro a highly professional polish the tradeoff, as usual being some loss of student and House flavor. Three of the five main voices are Boston-area professional musicians; they carry the main musical burden for more than three hours. But in no sense do they overshadow the two undergraduate leads. Sebastian Knowles as Figaro and Nan Hughes as the lovesick pageboy Cherubino. Indeed these two make it obvious that casting professionals is not the only way to go. The valiant, largely student orchestra conducted by Malina and Michael Bank '86 teaches the same lesson; the musicians...
