Fanciful though Amalric's thesis may seem, there are serious students who accept all or part of it. Most observers, however, would be stunned if the U.S.S.R. were to collapse in the foreseeable future-much less within 15 years, and in the manner foreseen by Amalric. While he need not be taken literally as a political prophet, he does illuminate most of the problems that plague the country. The value of his work is to point out that Russia could undergo some dramatic changes as it seeks to cope with those problems...

...scrupulously contained performance, Rebecca Thompson's Hedda is remarkably affecting and finally tragic. In part, this is due to Ted van Griethuysen, whose deliberate gravity of direction achieves cumulative emotional intensity. Hedda moves inexorably toward tragedy in that her ultimate foe is not the world of mere men but what O'Neill called "the God of Things as They Are." She regards suicide as the perfect act of courage because it is her non serviam to that god, her defiance of human fate...
