And, on the other hand, if inflation holds steady at 13 per cent for the next five years, worse problems across the nation may overshadow the plight of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Yet Patricia Conolly's Olivia here is one of the three major roles in which Brandeis surpasses Startford. Conolly never loses a countess's proper carriage, nor does she violate the character's mellowness. In her first meeting with Viola, her veil is too transparent, but her timing in this scene is masterly. And on first seeing the twins together she can put a world of meaning...
