...courage, director Richard Blau fashioned a very intelligent and well-integrated production. Technical mishaps occur, but the relationship of the actors to each other and to their objects is never sloppy or thoughtless. The set, by Joe Inglefinger, is a minor masterpiece of earth mound, rolling desert, and twilight sky (all accomplished within the technical limitations of the Adams House Dining Hall). Seated inside the mound, Diana Allen Delivers Winnie's two hour near-monologue of madness with a dazzling range of style-dirty-old man, guilty-little-girl, calm, logical lunatic. With converse skill, Armand Pohan creates a vivid...
...Patience. Instantly critics snapped that the sick need a view. Corbu's partisans reply that the bedridden prefer a supine view of blue sky, birds and stars. All that the hospital must do to grow is go to sea, expanding, said the architect, "like an open hand." There is no façade or front door: ambulance boats can dock conveniently under the hospital at gondola ports. As much an adaptation of the Swiss lake villages, which Swiss-born Corbu knows well, as a ducal palace or a gondola garage, the design should please Venetians. Yet, however harmonious this...
...would like to protest your protest of the anti-protest protest. To the extent that the protest was a parody, you snub it as indifferent and pointless. To the extent that it was a sky lark, you are shocked at this rejection of political commitment and motivation. Yet it is obvious that you miss the point of the protest.

He uses the phone like a postcard, calling dancer friends around the world, chitchatting in fluent, slightly accented English. When visitors arrive, he will emerge wearing high, tan moccasins, skintight, sky-blue pants and flowing fuchsia shirt. Scattered about the living room are effects that mark the mystery of the man -gilt-bound tomes of Balzac and Schiller next to a pile of toys that he amuses himself with: a soccer game, a Yo-Yo, a gun that shoots pingpong balls...
...Most. There were, of course, a few bad seats in the house: the most expensive ones. The 53 sky boxes, as they are called, are all on the sixth deck, about 115 ft. from the playing field (v. 45 ft. for the average bleacher seat), range in size from 24 to 54 seats, and cost from $15,000 to $32,000 a year to rent. Behind the boxes are one-room "suites," each with refrigerator, ice maker, bar, toilet, a closed-circuit TV that broadcasts Dow Jones averages, and a six-foot butler decked out in gold and orange...
