...might guess, directing Sligar and Son is not of the most enviable jobs on God's Earth. Still, Chris Sorensen could have done more to soften the blows the plawright's pen have wrought. With a heavy-handed script, heavy-handed performances aren't exactly the order of the day, yet that is primarily what we get from the largely freshman cast.

When he returned last week from a three-week postconvention holiday on the French Riviera, Gene McCarthy said that he would now devote his efforts to raising funds...
...Sorensen, who represented the estate in the negotiations and did "very minor editing," insisted that all of the actual writing was the work of the late Senator.
