...Irish whisky, chased by floods of Guinness stout, that he drank every day he was able. Some said it was a sad, wasted life, over at 41, but the Borstal Boy never said it. He was never that far gone that he couldn't knock out the stray book or play-the best of them, such as The Hostage and The Scarperer, being very good indeed, and the worst of them throbbing, at least, with that high, rollicking rebel spirit that made Behan different from other skins. He was indeed a fine doorful of a man, as a friend...
...Hungarian dogs, and secured by the Hungarians - since the early days of the cold war - by some 7,000,000 little brown boxes containing lethal charges of TNT. As the Iron Curtain wears thin, the mines are be coming as much of an embarrassment as a hindrance to trespassers. Stray cats or even a speedy thaw sets them off in the night, and in last year's torrential floods a great many mines sown on hillsides along the boundary-marking Pinka and Raab rivers worked loose and washed over to the Austrian bank.

Though technically clumsy, the Kirkland House production of this laboriously didactic work has its moments of low humor and sardonic truth. Its faults, for the most part, stem from the Brechtian bric-a-brac with which director Peter Weil has burdened the show...
With a doctor beside her to treat possible rattlesnake, tarantula or scorpion bites, Secret Service men and rangers nearby to fend away any stray panthers or bobcats (Big Bend counts 28 species of snakes and 60 different species of animal), Mrs. Johnson hiked up the Lost Mine Trail for a look across the Rio Grande. She ate dinner beside a campfire at sunset, listened to Western songs from local troupes and genuine tall tales by a folklorist imported from the University of. Texas...
