...right to fail is honored more often than not. Ever since the success of Virginia Woolf in 1962, Edward Albee has exercised this right annually. Tiny Alice, The Ballad of the Sad Café, A Delicate Balance, Malcolm, Everything in the Garden, and now Box and Quotations from Mao Tse-tung represent the alarming deterioration of a formidable talent...
Thousands of young, college-educated girls are uprooted from China's great cities every year and sent off to the boondocks for the stint at manual labor that is demanded of intellectuals in Chairman Mao Tse-tung's domain.

The gift was celebrated at campus rallies...
