...alternatives. Gradually expelling the Arabs from the West Bank would be morally unthinkable, and would condemn Israel to a permanent state of hostility with its neighbors. Annexing the West Bank and Gaza, with their 1.1 million Arabs, would turn the Jewish state that Israelis want into the first stage of the binational country that P.L.O. Leader Yasser Arafat seeks. Keeping the Palestinians under occupation, no matter how benign, will only churn up the will to struggle that is expressed in this popular West Bank ballad...
There is no slick stuff about Seger, not on the records and not in concert. His brown hair flows over the collars of modified Elizabethan shirts, stage gear long out of favor. The music has no labyrinthine lyrics or arcane chord changes. Seger still opens his show with Tina Turner's good-humored, hard-rocker Nutbush City Limits, and the song sets the tone for what follows: plain good times...
...predator mosquito that has raised the hopes of USDA scientists is a creature with the formidable name of Toxorhynchites rutilus rutilus.

Unfortunately, the play falls apart about the same time, and when Scottie's turn comes to take the stage, he can only say: "You see be fore you a man who has absolutely no finish. I'm not kidding. I don't know how to get off." Playwright Slade might better have spoken the lines himself. His play does not end, but slides to a bathetic conclusion...
