...have seen The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore two times in Spoleto, once in New Haven, once in Philadelphia and twice at the Morosco Theater, and although I am fascinated by your drama critic's exegesis of the play's meaning [Jan. 25] I find myself in 100% disagreement...

It has proved once and for all to Italians that there is something more interesting to look at in the way of outdoor sculpture than the pompous equestrian statues of Victor Emmanuel II, which clutter up many of their piazzas. The naked use of common industrial methods to produce sculpture has stripped away much of the mystery of the craft, has humanized what had been before a less than generally appreciated art form.
