...action revolves around the licentious exploits of a Don Juan figure, Don Giovanni in the Italian: Raymond Hickman makes a strong, swaggering, insolent libertine whose singing suggests an appropriate mocking tone whether in love or rage. The Don's servant, Leporello, is usually caricatured as an inoffensive jester. As played by Daniel Windham, easily the finest actor of the cast, he became a figure of great sensitivity and dignity. Windham's basso was round and distinct, his stage movements expressive and natural...
Though Berryman was a mature poet of far greater range and accomplishment than Sylvia Plath, the manner of their deaths makes some comparison inevitable.

Long before being convicted of murdering his landlady, whom he liked, a New York sculptor named...
...since the demand for immediate withdrawal was overwhelmed by the demand to cut American casualties, the war continued to rage onward, with U.S. air power playing the major role in the preservation of the Saigon regime. Since Cambodia, an immense American armada has ravaged the people and land of Laos, Cambodia, and South Vietnam with death and destruction from the air. It has become the linchpin of Nixon's policy--a fact to which we awakened with the brutal air strikes last week against Hanoi and Haiphong. Up until now, the White House has found domestic opposition...
