...separated from the one man she comes to love. For one thing--and it may be ungallant to say so--Miss Reid can no longer pass for a young woman in her midtwenties. Masha is also the most complicated of the three sisters. Miss Reid has no particular trouble conveying the blunt, even coarse speech of Masha, but she has not sufficiently plumbed the poetic sensitivity that lies beneath. It is not a bad performance; it just leaves a great deal yet to be explored. The problem of Masha's and Vershinin's drum-roll exchanges ("Tram...
...liberals (along with radicals, many blacks, many of the young) who ask these nagging questions, with particular insistence pressing home the contrast between the accomplishments in space and failures on earth. In this decade the liberals made an issue of these national inadequacies and attempted solutions. Promises made stirred hopes and then frustrations. Other factors, most importantly the war, have set loose political and social demons that neither liberals nor conservatives can yet capture or placate.

There has been a dramatic increase in the numbers of professional women in Cuba since 1959. It's particularly remarkable because of the pre-revolution situation of women in Cuba. Like most Latin countries, women in Cuba weren't particularly active, and their opportunities were limited by the tradition of male dominance. But in Cuba, because of the particular form of tourism, the problem took on an extra dimension, that of prostitution and the dependence of many woman on other service industries associated with tourism. The Revolution, of course, ended the prostitution and gambling immediately. Now, I don't want...
