...individual vignettes of "Mama", spiced by imaginative camera angles and a constant shifting of perspective, are uniformly well-done.

But, rather than setting up a small, workable committee to put them into practice, the Council's group has drafted a long and involved hierarchy of committees. The actual work is to be done by a fairly large group of sophomore and junior candidates; formation...
