Despite these problems, much of Woyzeck is striking and visually transfixing. A scene at the circus has a Barker (D'metruius Conley-Williams) preaching of double-natures, un-idealized reason and the sand dust and slime of man.

Ours is one which reveals a most unfortunate reality for women in general and the progress they have made, or have failed to make thus far. The truth is that this system of female treatment would be just as appalling if we Harvard women were the sole patrons.

...practice as standard and says he has used it regularly to test opponents' vulnerabilities. The Dole campaign even asked nasty questions about Dole himself to help devise a defense for expected attacks on his tax policies. What is new this time is that voters are tired of hearing politicians slime one another, and are beginning to lash back even at campaign methods as arcane as push polls...
