...back of the program promising instruction in "exciting fall and winter drama programs featuring sense recall, blocking, animal and shower games?" And how do you take the rather timid striptease in "Hawkins and Grabber" as Steve and Joel remove (some of) their clothes in a metaphoric portrayal of psychic undress, if it's not just an attempt to provide the press agent (listed in the program as Off Beat Promotion) a saleable poster idea. No, I'm afraid for all their potential, unrealized talent, there's a good deal of the Kind and the Duke about Joel and Steve Polinsky...

Rescued from a suicide attempt, she starts the long process of mental repair in an asylum...
...this point, those whose ages take them beyond the youth culture but have been radicalized by the vision of the new society have been almost exclusively middle class-those with the leisure time, and money, and psychic security that allows them to be free-free to act, free to care, free to love. The vision of Mayday, however, says very little to those - and most of America is among "those"-who do not have those freedoms...
