...question of involvement was never really very difficult for Blake, however. Listen to Ginsberg's tender singing of "The Little Black Boy," and "The Chimney Sweeper." These songs tell of goodness lost and crucified in both the slums of London and the world at large. Blake's vision of the angels in the woods remains pure and intact as we are told of a chimney sweeper's dream...
lust what is legal tender in Britain? Answer: anything you can write a check on-even the backside of a cow. So last week, as a 60th anniversary jape in honor of all the years that Punch's leading humorist, A.P. Herbert, has spent with the magazine, two policemen led a cow into Barclays bank with a ?5 check written on its hide. Herbert endorsed bossie and collected his money.

The father is understanding, rather than a bourgeois drunk, the mother's tender loving care melts in your mouth, and young love triumphs over nastiness, brutality, and even, God forbid, prostitution. It is O'Neill's salute to the Catholic morality in which he was raised, but that morality has all the abiding qualities of an ice cube in August. And the editing in this production only keeps any virtue that is in the text of the play itself from surfacing...
