...guitar and the fiddle and the steel and the piano are the real talkers, but they speak the same language. Betts's guitar riffs play on tension-and-release--building a taut peak like any good sixties guitar (only more delicate), then instead of dropping it letting it shower down intact, shaking leaves off a tree. Everything soars and subsides, but in tiny arcing weblets rather than waves. This is the kind of guitar that can have a conversation with another instrument that's not an emotional confrontation between the actors, but more like dolphins nipping and frolicking...
...Miller looks a dozen years older-as many veteran miners do. His face pallid, his hair steely white. Each morning he soaks in the shower for up to an hour, just to get his arthritic body ambulatory. It is the legacy of 22 years in the mines...
...relationships, as the play unfolds. But Brewster's development of this side of Kate is hampered by an excess of vitality. Her surprising tenseness at the beginning of the play, while dramatically provocative, undercuts the numbed aloofness that is a necessary counter-balance to the prevailing tensions.

But Brewster plays this dreamy, solipsistic rejuvenation as a social instinct, a feeling of warmth toward the others, rather...

That is why, after a close game or a punishing workout, it is not the hot shower or whirlpool bath that Joe likes to ease into but a nice, deep meditative trance. He murmurs a secret word over and over again until the repetition, just like a massive tackle, blocks out his consciousness and leaves his mind refreshingly blank...
...Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The agency established final limits for workers' exposure to vinyl chloride (vc), a colorless gas derived from chlorine and petrochemicals. It is the major ingredient in polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-the material from which seat covers, phonograph records, credit cards, detergent containers, floor tiles, shower curtains, and a vast number of other familiar plastic products are made. In total, a recent Arthur D. Little study reveals, about 2.2 million jobs in industries selling up to $90 billion worth of goods annually depend...
