The 5-in. figurine, manufactured by California-based Playmates Toys, depicts a ragged street character from Disney's hit movie Dick Tracy. But the Rev. Christopher Rose, an Episcopal priest in Hartford who works with his city's homeless, thought Steve the Tramp's grotesque villainy was a cruel attack on his unfortunate clients. Particularly incensed by the lurid resume that adorned Steve the Tramp's packaging, Rose launched a campaign to stamp out the tramp. He got his point across...
...carnage occurred at a rally last week for the Rev. Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the popular priest who is the front runner in this Sunday's presidential elections and a survivor of at least three assassination attempts.

The female lead never speaks as she is given sexually from one man to another ("Go right ahead, she doesn't mind," one man says.) The man who receives her, the Priest in the play, then has sex with her four times, each time with increasing violence. As the violence increases, the woman writhes in apparent ectasy which escalates to laughter. At the end of the play, her "cunt," a voice characterization by another actress, begins to yell at the men, attacking...
