Rain, always lovers' weather onstage, drives Sylvia into Stan's Greenwich Village flat. She (Marian Seldes) is a bookkeeper who poses as an actress on the basis of her sessions at group-therapy psychodrama. He (Gene Troobnick) is a sportswear buyer who poses as a sculptor by coating tennis rackets, mannequin legs and xylophones with plaster of paris. It is not so much the chemistry of love that fuses the pair as the mutual palpitating fear that they may be cultural dropouts...
Cherishing the delusion that he is a swinger, Stan is, in self-dismayed fact, a thirtyish virgin. Given to incessant self-analysis and self-recrimination, Sylvia has strained the juices of life into psychologically labeled jars. The pair's mating dance is jittery and erratic but unfalteringly human.

...anchor of the defense is the middle guard. His assignment is to plug the gaps and lend tackling support from one end of the line to the other. To evaluate the play of Stan Greenidge, the Crimson's All-Ivy middle guard, you wouldn't count the number of times he throws a quarterback for a loss. Those occasions are freaks: when Harvard catches the offense off guard with a defense switch or when the Crimson finds itself in a position where it needs to gamble. Rather, watch Greenidge hold his position against a single blocker...
