...race concentrating on nine states where he has a substantial following among liberal Democrats and independents-Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, Oregon, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and California. That strategy looks as if it is designed to maximize the damage to Carter, and McCarthy seems almost to relish the role of wrecker. He says almost gleefully to applauding audiences: "I've been accused of being a spoiler. Well, how can you spoil this election when there's nothing to spoil...
...ignores the spoken script, however, the movement of and non-verbal sounds issuing from the actors are fascinating. Director Kerry Konrad has blocked the episodes gracefully, and the crew of bodies (for they are more symbols than individuals) performs with relish and coordination. The multi-headed snake projects a refreshing sense of comic glee while outwitting Eve. Transitions between scenes pose bemusing riddles as the limp, floored torsos of the actors ease into new being.

He complains also that the conservative white caste system that...
...South Bostonians are not unique, however; many blacks in Roxbury and Dorchester, on the exploitation score, "know where they're coming from." Parents in the black sections of town don't relish busing either, but for them the school bus has become a symbol of mobility, not upward mobility, but just some kind of mobility--a foot in the door to society. For desegregation alone will not change the poor black's view of city politics and power; even when a black student can look a white teacher in the eye at South Boston High, he still knows where that...
