...Black Star is a new theater group dedicated to social change through theater. "Theater always advocated something," declares co-founder Krieger. "It's the strongest means of expression there is," she adds. Funded primarily by the Office of the Arts--the group never charges admission--Black Star presents plays on social, political and feminist issues, and prefers plays that are not often performed. Previous productions and readings have included The Abdication and Schubert's Last Serenade; the company hopes to mount student works next semester.

...some other fast meets this spring," said Caulkins, explaining why she decided not to pay her own way to Cambridge. The AAU customarily picks up travelling expenses for U.S. Team members.

Preachiness and moralizing would only direct attention away from the immediacy that is the novel's strongest suit. Seen from the inside, the characters are simply beleaguered children trying to cope and, ultimately, failing.
