Bernice R. Sandler, the director of the Project on the Education and Status of Women at the American Association of Colleges, agreed with a number of the book's other general findings harassers tend to be repeat offenders; relatively few women invent or exaggerate charges of sexual harassment; ignoring the attention will not make it go away...
Artistically, the company already seems secure. The first four productions, although they tend toward the conventional and ingratiating, all have a high gloss, especially in design. Phillips and Phillip Silver have created a standing set: a streamlined, frame-and-window contraption that can look like a temple, a skyscraper or the wall of a conservatory. It neatly frames an all but impeccable The Doctor's Dilemma, Shaw's affectionate satire of medical theories, artistic pretensions and the absurd complexities brought on by love. The plot, a wittily constructed but logically dubious foofaraw, about a physician who must decide...
Foxes, who tend to inhabit universities and the State Department would treat each case as unique and see local causes and particular circumstances. In El Salvador, look at land tenure and understand the role of the army as a way for middle-class men to get rich by killing the poor. Lebanon?

On the basis of Mondale's showing against Bob Dole in the 1976 vice presidential debate I would much prefer Mondale over Glenn in a debate showdown with President Reagan...
...these two remarkable men with admirable skill. He sticks closely to historical detail, even mentioning Robespierre's illness in the month prior to Danton's return to Paris and using Robespierre's actual words in the deruncistory speech he delivers before the Convention. Only rarely does his scene setting tend toward excess or degenerate into same dropping as in Robespierre's visit to the studio of Jacques Louis David, where the great artist is finishing his famous "Death of Marat...
