Dylan can twist his words into stunningly complex alliterative or rhyme schemes, using the sound of the words to build associations and feelings, or he can tell a simple story, constantly repeating verses or choruses with his improvised country diction to make his point. He can write about the endless variations of love or about the emptiness felt inside watching a derelict die on the street. His earliest songs, many of them never recorded, are wide-eyed youthful reflections on the misfortune and injustice he saw as he journeyed through America. He writes about having no money, he writes about...
...Harvard Medical School associate professor of surgery, has called for a massive testing of the general public for antibodies to the HTLV-III virus associated with AIDS, and what amounts to a quarantine of all persons testing positive, a step directly contradicting even the most strictly and conservatively applied sound medical knowledge. Now, in the Crimson of Dec. 6, I must endure more of this hysterical nonsense. "People are not being told a straight story," says Dr. Mark. "We should have widespread testing for AIDS...We need to know who has this disease. Current public health measures are not enough...
...eventually rolled up the longest run for any model in U.S. automotive history. While it pioneered the booming market in four- wheel-drive vehicles, however, sales of the CJ (for civilian) Jeep dropped from 79,000 in 1978 to an expected 36,000 this year.

Occasionally, when characters enter through windows in night scenes, for example, the brief but cool outside breeze allows viewers easily to imagine the cold northern Great Britain setting. Also, sound effects that come from outside the closed windows make scenes more credible. One of the many powerful scenes which testifies to Ronis' skill is when Richard (Christopher Moore) and his Queen (Kristin Gasser) part for the last time before they are banished. The characters stand before a single stark lightbulb...
...Greek dramas, Antigone has a chorus. But the chorus in this production fails miserably. They stumble over each others' words and when they eventually manage to speak simultaneuously the sound is hardly melodious. But the most obvious problem with the chorus is they don't know what to do with themselves when they aren't speaking. Instead of removing themselves from the audience's eye, they become even more conspicuous by making obviously forced expressions, fidgeting and staring off into space. The chorus seems to have become a theatrical anachronism...
