...silent father is a variation on Albee's laconic, spiritless father in The American Dream. Mother is the voracious woman of Arthur Kopit's Oh Dad, Poor Dad, in fright wigs a la Tiny Alice. Lakme wears the little-girl dresses that the sex-hungry baby sitter wore in Oh Dad; Sigfrid half chokes her to death, as the boy in that play strangled the baby sitter. And the mortal baiting of the homosexual in Bump follows the cruelly bantering tone and logic of the venomous get-the-guests game in Virginia Woolf. The effect is worse than...

The girl gets time off for classes and homework, some free nights, and one full day a week for herself. For guidance, she can turn to subsidiary facilities -clubs where au pairs can go to compare notes...
...final weeks of the campaign; this year side choosing began in July. Despite such evidence of strong and early partisan sentiment, more newspapers than ever before have decided to endorse neither candidate; a poll by Editor & Publisher magazine shows that one in three papers is a fence sitter, as against one in four in 1960. And a press establishment that has been as high as 67.3% Republican (in 1962, only 57.7% in 1960) has made Lyndon Johnson the first Democratic presidential candidate in modern times to get a majority of editorial support...
