...makes it easier to get medicine into them. Instead of passing out penicillin tablets, service medics now usually give a long-acting form of the drug by injection. With medicines that must be taken by mouth, like sulfadiazine, the men swallow their pills while still in line, under the relentless eye of a medical officer. Similar precautions in hospitals will outwit any but the most determined evader. But in civilian practice, doctors can do little more than add information and persuasion to their prescriptions...
...this a portrait of youthful existence in Italy? It seems unlikely. As a case history, the trials of Enrica are both too relentless and too bizarre to be convincing-even though they are recounted with a grimly detailed, laconic realism that echoes the style of her mentor, Novelist Alberto Moravia...

Coming from a Communist, it is an anti-bourgeois play, but it negates all ideologies by farcically reducing them to futility. It is a play ostensibly demonstrating the relentless sweep of history, but actually revealing the tenacious, indomitable life force in human beings that survives history. Finally, Mother Courage is a black, corrosive comedy that almost alone among 20th century plays approaches the purgative power of a major tragedy...
