...four critical cases handed down during its final week, the court splintered into 22 separate concurring and dissenting opinions. Such diversity, says Justice Department Lawyer Bruce Fein, "gives relatively little guidance to state and federal courts, elected officials or the private sector. It makes for an uneven application...
This is an uneven production. The high spot is Webster's Tarleton, a figure of dynamic animal magnetism and a dauntless fox hunter of ideas. Drawn to the aviator, Kipp's Hypatia is more coquette than carnivore in her pursuit.While the clever flow of the Shavian line defies damming.

...country's uneven economy could work either for or against stability. On the one hand, the industrial and urban transformations wrought by Tito have had a cohesive influence. "People have been concentrating on a better standard of living instead of hating their neighbors," says a Western diplomat in Belgrade.

...Minnesotans are one of the nation's very good, though not very best, orchestras. After 19 years under the direction of Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, a capable, rather intellectual conductor with an interest in contemporary music, they are versatile and ambitious, but also uneven; they lack a distinct personality.

For starters, he is trying to coax more confident, uniform phrasing from the strings...
...dancing, a little hootchy-koo: these alone, some would say, make up a musical. Cabaret piles political and historical meaning on top of the basic elements, in a melange that often trips up directors. This production's director, Scott Goldsmith, however, masterfully sidesteps a problem that plagues many musicals: uneven singing, acting or dancing, by performers cast for their talent in only one area. Cabaret's strength lies in a group of multi-talented performers who never let any side of the show down, handling its weighty acting demands as skillfully as the song-and-dance numbers...
