...METHOD AND DEVELOPMENT of the play resemble a remark made by the psychologist Erik Erikson. Discussing Eros, the psychological principle of love, Erikson asserts that love is, theoretically and potentially, universal. In quaintly secular fashion, Erikson approaches an idealization of the power of love not unlike the old Christian attitude, implicitly forwarding the social health of love as the chief criterion for judging a culture. Hansberry seems to have constructed A Raisin in the Sun from the critical vantage point of the possibility of universal love. While the result is staggering, one immediately wonders if it is always possible...
...tirade, unfortunately, is no exception. First, Milton Coleman admits to violating a confidence with Reverend Jackson--a confidence of the type that is common between reporters and political figures. His only defense--which shows that he knew he did something wrong--was that Jackson had allegedly made this remark among other Black reporters.

Sleep comes a few hours at a time in stuffy rooms and cramped airplane seats. The adrenaline gushes all day long. Every remark, every intellectual twitch or tic is scrutinized, recorded, analyzed. In the frenzy of political combat, the candidate must improvise crucial strategic moves, keep his facts straight and try to look presidential to boot. Senator John Glenn said he was "perpetually tired" two months before the first primary. Fellow Dropout George...
...next question the reporters asked Reagan to elaborate on a passing remark he had made about the need to restructure. Social Security. He couldn't. It will take months or years of study for the government to figure out what to do about the entitlement programs, and the President hasn't a clue what to expect...
