This cast does a fairly solid job. Jean Richards is perfect as the whimsical girl, Louisa, falling in love. So is David C. Burrows, her father, bumbling through his own petty confusion. My favorite in the show was Johnny Armen as the Indian, Mortimer. Dressed in long underwear, tennis shoes, and an Indian wig, he played the evil forces of the world that ensnarl the boy and girl--an Egyptian, a Venetian, a Roman, and a Pirate (as well as the Rapist's Assistant). While he whips the boy in one of the tableau scenes, he keeps looking...

...according to British Psychologist Donald Eric Broadbent, but some other psychologists say that the early risers are egotistical-they get up with the idea the world is waiting for them. Adds one: "There is definite evidence that early risers tend to sleep in pajamas, while late risers sleep in underwear or the nude." Edward Stonehill, a British psychologist, notes: "A man may choose to be a milkman because he likes to get up at 4 a.m., not because he has trained himself to wake early." Other psychologists agree that recalcitrant risers simply do not like the activity that awaits them...

I will give myself to the mountain, and I hope that I may return...

...hundreds of people and police and examined on film by the Walker staff, no one can yet say what it was. It has been described as a "black flag of anarchy," a "red flag" and a "Viet Cong flag." Some witnesses state it was a suit of red underwear or a red armband or a rag. On films of the incident, it appears to be "a knotted red cloth or a girl's bright red slip." Police, after a hard fight, pulled down the object, but not even the cops know what it was or what happened...

...strength you could never match, they had all the paraphernalia of strength: sweat socks, Erector sets, laundry bags full of shoulder pads, aircraft carrier models, framed photos of The Varsity, dirty books, baseball cards and pup tents, while you got the leftovers: paper dolls, hair curlers, bedmaking, frilly underwear, dishwashing, piano lessons, pajama parties.
