What is this theatre's aesthetic? The first two plays, Thymus Vulgaris by Lanford Wilson and Corner, 28th and Bank by Linda Segal, are about lovable losers--lonely, touchingly inarticulate little people. In the Wilson play, the latest in his line of vulnerable hookers concludes that "There are two kinds of people in this world: the eaters and the eaten." She and her mother--another long-abused lady--have been, ahem, the eaten, and the play ends as they escape from the carnivores to a little house by the sea. In the Segal play the vulnerable, long-abused whore...
Apart from the odd "fuck", the only thing that distinguishes the Wilson and Segal plays from those occasionsl "poignant" sketches on T.V. variety shows is their stifling ponderousness. For a lot of people that's what theatre means these days: ponderous television that costs $15 or $20 a person and you have to dress up for it. No wonder nobody goes...
...only does the country sometimes seem caught in a sweet haze of nostalgia and playfulness, it also seems to be savoring its history on a small, even cozy scale. In Youngstown, Ohio, for example, in what appears to be one blue-collar community's search for identity, George Segal's life-size bronze of two steelworkers has been installed in a plaza; members of the building-trades union enhanced the artwork by erecting a real furnace as background...
Although Epton, Mullin, Segal, and Druth, LtD., the Chicago-based law firm representing substandard, no one contends that his restaurants are models of cleanliness.

The crux of this argument was not that Dayan's operations were acceptable, but that they were no worse than many other McDonald's throughout the world...
...prove this contention, researchers at Epton, Mullin, Segal, and Druth attempted to document every rat, roach, and mouse ever seen in a New York City, Chicago, or Washington D.C. McDonald's between 1977 and the present. As Dayan's attorney's have noted, that adds up to a lot of health and safety violations. But that strategy failed when Judge Curry ruled that violations by outlets outside of France were irrelevant to the case--thus forbidding Dayan's attorneys from entering four boxes of illegible city health reports into evidence...
