...SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL. The APA company rubs too much 20th century balm and too little 18th century acid into the pores of this high-styled Sheridan play. It does have one delight: Rosemary Harris as Lady Teazle, the country kitten who comes to London town, takes the burr out of her purr and meows down the city minxes...
...Franz Josef Strauss, 51, the powerful Bavarian leader who was forced to resign as Defense Minister in a 1962 scandal after ordering the arrest of several staffers of the newsmagazine Der Spiegel on flimsy charges of treason.

The APA company rubs a trifle too much humanizing balm and not enough stingingly satiric acid into the pores of the play, and the production is no 18th century match for the high-styled revival presented on Broadway three seasons ago by John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson. Yet it does have one incomparable delight: Rosemary Harris as Lady Teazle, the country kitten who comes to London town, takes the burr out of her purr and meows...
