...Woods, 30, at the University of Rochester, has no trouble rationalizing the situation. Says he: "A traditional academic couple?the husband teaching, the wife at home?would get only one salary anyway." Another advantage of job sharing is the flexibility it affords. One Stanford team, Anthropologists Renato and Michelle Rosaldo, changed from full-time and part-time posts, respectively, to three-fourths of a slot each. The reward: an extra day off per week in which they could relax with their 16-month-old son Sam, indulge their love of opera and restore their sprawling old house...

Ivan Light came hurtling out of the audience (Lefty is a simulated union meeting) with an inspired outburst against company spies. But of the characters who had to think, to weigh the decisions...
Topicality becomes a problem for both directors, since each play was written with a timely, instructive purpose. Does Rosaldo really think Odets' desperate whining retains its topicality in these days of labor-management picnics and Taft-Hartley happiness? Does Fox think the strategic lessons which Brecht wants to impart in The Measures Taken are lessons which the Common Room audience could or should take seriously? If the answer in either case is yes, the directors failed on stage to explain why. Without that explanation their two weeks' toil seemed flat and offensive, or cute and inapplicable. Fox didn't sense...
