...proves scandalously pregnant, a maimed son slain by his comrades as a suspected informer. With these mundane materials, O'Casey unleashes a torrent of engulfing emotions. The actors are up to the challenge. Though he sometimes seems about as Irish as chopped chicken liver and onion on rye, Matthau is full of baleful Gaelic braggadocio as Captain Boyle. As Joxer, Lemmon is as spry and cunning as a soiled city sparrow, and for once, Maureen Stapleton acts from her heart rather than her frazzled nerve ends. Let loud praise for all be heard, for it is much merited...

...susceptible to blights and pests. It was a bout of wet, chilly air during the growing season that apparently touched off the Middle Ages' outbreaks of St. Anthony's fire -excruciatingly painful convulsions and gangrenous hands and feet that are caused by a fungus which grows on rye in cold, damp weather. Some changes, to be sure, could be beneficial. The Midwest's corn growers expect harvests to go up in slightly chillier weather (because the cold reduces water losses through evaporation). But in most cases, any changes in climate mean trouble for farmers...

...from delicatessens. Although this Jewish-style deli is not in the same league as Katz's Delicatessen on New York's lower east side (and it is not Kosher), in the Harvard Square area the Midget is probably the closest you'll come to a decent corned-beef-on-rye with a side order of kishka. The triple decker "College Sandwiches" are well worth their prices, and bagels with cream cheese and lox are available (a rarity in this town). The adjoining maxi bar and lounge is comfortable and its booze is served at reasonable prices. (Try the scotch...

...Rochelle, Scarsdale, Rye. Freshly-painted houses look onto well-kept lawns and broad, winding streets. A ten-year old girl, wearing her new blue skirt for the first time, knocks at the door of her friend's house. "No, Betty, Sarah went for a ride with her father. I'll tell her you were here." Betty turns and walks back to her house...
