...scene which exemplifies the relationship between the movie's two main characters, Simone hysterically beats George on the face with a belt, releasing her pent-up frustration at her own past abuses at the hands of her pimp. George stands there, crying, and submits to her rage and pain. When Simone stops, realizing how she's hurt him, she bursts into tears and hugs him as if he were a helpless and confused...
...pivotal roles, recasting reduces the pain and power of the play. Michael Siberry, blond and robust, plays Nicholas as one of nature's optimists, buoyant with pride and hope. The dark, hollowed look and manner of the original Nicholas, Roger Rees, better suggested the character's boundless disillusionment. As Nicholas' battered Dotheboys friend Smike, David Threlfall was recognizably a victim of cerebral palsy, lame and inarticulate, whose great soul struggled to overcome his infirmities. His successor, John Lynch, skitters and jibbers in an otherworldly fashion that never resembles any sympathy-evoking affliction...
Anonymous pain vs. heroic pizazz, a crucible vs. a crowd pleaser. A low, labyrinthine, long-abandoned Government compound and a high, bright, popular symbol. The place where the undesirables among the huddled masses were culled out and sent packing; the monument that summarizes in one grand, gilded-age stroke a nation's noblest intentions.

But together, they tell something like the whole truth...
Four years ago, when seven people in the Chicago area died after taking cyanide-laced capsules of Tylenol pain reliever, the crime seemed so horrible --so peculiarly horrible--that it was hard to believe it would ever be repeated. And yet it has been, again and again. Last February tainted Tylenol capsules killed a Peekskill, N.Y., woman. A month later traces of rat poison were found in Contac cold capsules and Teldrin allergy medication in Houston and Orlando. Two weeks ago, medical investigators discovered that two residents of Auburn, Wash., had died as a result of swallowing toxic Excedrin capsules...
...commitment to the controversial capsule. Said a spokesman for American Home Products: "We have no intention at this point in time of discontinuing our over-the-counter capsule business." At another time, he implies, things could change. Echoed a spokesman for Sterling Drug, maker of Panadol and Midol pain relievers: "We are still marketing the capsules. But it's a fluid situation. Any instance, such as the recent tampering cases, causes us to review our products." A prudent middle course would be for all manufacturers to adopt one of the new technologies for safer capsules as quickly as possible...
