...usher so I could see the shows for free." Watching plays over and over as they were pruned, polished and otherwise primed for a Broadway run is, Rich believes, a great education for a critic: "I couldn't help learning what does and does not work well on stage." At Harvard, Rich decided he didn't work well on stage, gave up acting, and moved to the gallery as drama critic for the Crimson. He attributes his switch to film criticism to inspiration from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and to overexposure. "You could see more movies...

But this is probably wishful thinking. As one official of Nkomo's organization says, "This war will not stop. It is not possible at this stage to talk about a reconciliation between those who are inside the country and those who are outside." Despite last week's balloting, or indeed as a result of it, the sad outlook is for more months of bloodletting...
...Chitrabhanu, "God is an idea, an inspiration, an innermost quest, rather than a figure who judges and puts you in hell or heaven." God is the perfection within man, not an outside creator. Chitrabhanu describes mankind as the last stage of evolution, a stage at which it is possible--though unlikely--for man to attain perfection. "Man is in a refined stage but there is one more step, to perfection, to cosmic experience, to omega consciousness...
