...much pain had been inflicted on America, right in her own living room, right at dinner time with the family. The sight of Chicago policemen beating and kicking people was too, too much, and America kicked back at the courier of the sight--the news people...
...burlesque of late 19th-century melodrama is presented all but dead-pan by actors nearly as immobile as the lectern-bound participants in a dramatic reading.

It is exposed to view and yet cannot be seen. For one thing, it gleams a long way overhead, 68 feet at its apex, and it is enormous-5,599 square feet. The huge blue vault of air beneath it obscures all but the main figures...
