Maver has reinforced the audience's identification with The Boss by placing him on a platform extended out from the stage. Much of the time he simply sits there, a patron himself, slowly absorbing the events of which he has chosen not to be part. Yet Gitter's detached performance is a masterpiece of contradiction. With small, restrained gestures, and occasional movements of the mouth with and without voice, he echoes and narrates the production. Physically he has come as close to Brecht as his appearance permits, but he is never even tempted toward mimicry, and the potentially cheap laughs...
...keeping his involvement in partisan politics a secret. It would be very embarrassing for the Mayor if there were an outright split in the party and the organization refused to endorse him in 1969. And this may happen if the organization decides that they stand to gain more patron age under a Democratic administration.

Each took a different route to a solution, and both felt that they had not only preserved but even added to the city's heritage...
...gear of today's pelvic underground: miniskirts, black leather vests and striped stockings. They lick ice cream cones but seldom smile. They are exotic exaggerations, vinyl Venuses in modern Threepenny Opera costumes, flagrant in their red fright wigs and monster cupid lips. His portrait of Art Patron Peggy Guggenheim has her decked out in butterfly sunglasses with bare breasts to boot...
