...Lawrence has long been admired as both a poet and painter. As a novelist, he was a passionate realist and an impassioned crusader for plain talk about sex. As a playwright, however, Lawrence has been ignored; his eight plays were poorly received on the rare occasions when they were performed during his lifetime, and they were first published in a collected edition only three years ago.

She talks about cow dung as if it were French perfume, condemns tinfoil wrapping as "a crime against a blooming plant...
...army, the press and small-town morality are all lethally and satirically observed. The criminals come off well because even their apparently senseless act makes more sense than the system. Burning the Jeep is a Happening, a symbolic work of art. Their point, and Boll's, is plain: sane men are beginning to find their bureaucratic world intolerable...
