...training, British Physicist Frank Stannard is a sober scientific observer concerned with the material world of matter and motion, of minute particles and massive reactions. By inclination Stannard is a dreamer. His antic imagination has conjured up an oddball universe where time actually runs backward. There, reports Stannard in Nature, a swimmer would rise from the water to land on a diving board, a decaying apple would gradually turn unripe and then into a blossom, all life would proceed from tomb to womb...
Symmetrical Universe. Stannard's reverse-time universe is his carefully considered answer to a question that has long disturbed scientists. In a universe where every other phenomenon seems largely symmetrical, why does time run only one way? "Ever since Einstein, we have thought of space and time as being closely associated with each other," says Stannard. "The behavior of particles in one dimension of space is the same as in another." Thus a particle can move forward or backward, up or down, right or left in space. It cannot do the same in time...
With that, formal ouster orders were sent to the handful of U.S. reporters in Indonesia-the Associated Press's Antoine Yared, the United Press International's Raymond E. Stannard...
...report the Weinbergs present is 50 years old, this collection of the writings of the energetic group known as the muckrakers seems charged still with proper indignation; the stories are as sturdy and enduring as the fearsome old names-Lincoln Steffens, Ida Tarbell, Samuel Hopkins Adams, Edwin Markham, Ray Stannard Baker, William English Walling...
...girls are just as good. Linda Bauer skillfully portrays Lucy, the maid, as an engaging, tough little tramp, and Shelia Stannard (Alithea), in spite of some awkward moments, makes an art form out of blandness. Tam Miller as Margery Pinchwife is magificently dumb, and leaps around the stage like an oversexed gnome. As for Emilie Rahman as Lady Fidget--boy, that Emilie Rahman. She is the best thing in the play as the wise-cracking, tough-talking Lady-always-in-waiting...
