...double casting of Friar Lawrence and Prince Escalus presents less of a problem. Jeffrey Korn plays both; his low, reassuring, measured tone of voice as the Friar is easilv distinguishable from the more urgent tenor he gives to the Prince. But these two characters do not relate to the plot and to each other the way the other double-cast characters...
...teeth on the board of the village library. Paul Laub, 41, who has amassed a million or so as Carmel's czar of schlock, purveying T shirts and other bric-a-brac, made his name fighting city hall over issues like illegally washing his sidewalk.

After slapping 10 students on the wrist for their participation in the sit-in at 17 Quincy Street last fall, the ad board undertook to prosecute students who signed a letter of solidarity with the 10 who were inside the building. It also placed a warning in a weekly law school publication threatening more severe discipline for future illegalities...
