...quite subtle beauty in this production. Huck's and Jim's self-imposed exile is seen as characteristic of a frontier society in which isolation appears to be the rule. Sara Brownell's lighting and Bob McCoy's piano accompaniment (while the latter seems too often intrusive in the rowdier episodes) are suggestive of the lonely, moral equilibrium that Huck can find only on a raft in mid-river. Fletcher World's Jim, although characterized with an understated dignity and authority that Twain himself hardly could have imagined, delivers a couple of especially effective soliloquys. These are the moments when...
...rowdier members of this group can make West Kingston an uncomfortable spot on a Saturday night for a white tourist, or even for an affluent black. A riot two years ago took two lives and caused $2,500,000 in property damage. Now the government nervously bans the works of Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael and Che Guevara, and forbids entry to suspected troublemakers...

Sailors, we were sure, were almost always rowdier and ugly-Americanier than longhairs...

"To play in this league, you've got to be tough -physically tough and mentally tough." He chased grandstand kibitzers off the training field, declared the rowdier Green Bay taverns off-limits, slapped $25 fines on players who showed up as little as one minute late for practice, $50 fines on those who broke his 11 p.m. training-camp curfew. He ordered injured Packers to run in practice ("You're preparing yourselves mentally"), and slackers found...
Confident Guess. In Atlanta an hour later, Nixon got an even rowdier welcome. A yellow banner at the airport proclaimed, "It's Nixon Day in Atlanta." Changing downtown from a closed to an open car, Pat and Dick suddenly found themselves on a ten-block parade route that was choked with 150,000 people. For the second time, the Nixons were bombarded with confetti, pulled and pawed by enthusiastic Atlantans, who broke past Secret Service men to reach for a hand shake...
