...scandals to grades and revolt, the tone of each generation has affected the temper and the tenure of a different layer of campus administration. There are those who look back with longing to the days when it was the Dean of Students or the football coach that got the sack...
...coating for the genocide that's going on here," argues David Gitelson, 25, a U.C.L.A. graduate and ex-G.I. now stationed in the Delta. A lanky loner who lopes around in sandals and faded Levi's, Gitelson carries his worldly possessions with him in a wheat sack, is known to the Vietnamese as "my ngheo"-the poor American.

Carol Swanger as Olivia would probably be charming in a straight production; here she is an actress with almost no one to speak to. David Scondras as Malvolio (his hair is disarranged) is a natural comic, but he is a bedraggled sad sack, and Malvolio is not. Robert MacDonald might be able to act if he didn't have to concentrate on sounding as though he were being strangled. Terry Lautz as the fool Feste sings with the mysteriously sweet voice one associates with revelations by deep mountain pools...
