...disagree completely with Gardner's outlook, and those who think that it's not what you say but how you say it in things artistic can skip this part of my review and read only my comments about the production, which I enjoyed. It seems to me that The Rain Never Falls makes very little sense if you don't buy some of Gardner's beliefs; his essential assumption being that the great attack will somehow come about because of internal evil, that the greed and weakness of our society will push us over the brink.

One year she skipped note taking entirely to see if she could learn better; she read piles of books, grew rapidly fonder of science, spent nights in a sleeping bag atop her dormitory to try to understand the theory of the expanding universe. She was also Vassar's hop, skip and jump champion, but dating never interested her. "I think I would have liked to go out more," she recalls. "But I just hadn't met anyone I thought was worth giving an evening to. I was pretty absorbed...
