...there are many lights burning at the end of this tunnel Warner brings a searing intimacy to Joe Orton's dark British comedy. The room's metal pipes cinder-block walls, and shack-like closet house the cluttered furnishings of a living room, the play's only set Seated in three sections around the room, the audience watches the play on the same level as the performers. Constantly dashing about and moving the furniture, the cast members treat the spectators like intruders...

The Review can remain "the most exciting undergraduate newspaper in the country" (its own appraisal) without deicing into inappropriate satire angering fellow students, or dividing the community.

The doctors, Fred Hochberg, a neurologist, and Robert Leffert, an orthopedic surgeon, examined Fleisher and determined that he was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that occurs when swollen tissue presses against a major nerve that transmits feeling to the hand. Fleisher was operated on in January 1981 to relieve the nerve. A few months later he began follow-up treatment, a powerful and sometimes painful application of pressure to damaged muscles called...
