...acoustics, both orchestra and singers sounded incredibly clear and uncannily near. A far cry, as they say, from Lincoln Center's State Theatre, where people sixteen rows back in the Orchestra shouted "Louder!" at Paul Schofield in King Lear.

A few pioneers are even sending aloft mice and grasshoppers, which successfully parachute back to earth at the end of the ride...

Not content merely to strike, some I.T.U. members appear to have hacked up 75 pages of type in the Boston Globe's composing room at a cost of $14,000 to the paper...
