However, did you give a fair picture of the grower in your article? I think not. When I went to pick up my pay, I found the grower's house to be a shack; and his wife, shabbily attired, could scarcely speak English. From what I've seen of other farm owners, this most likely may be the rule rather than the exception...
...over what appears to me to be an effort to placate the Southern elements in our party. I personally feel that the desegregation guidelines should not have been relaxed. It was unwise both in the country's interest and the party's interest. I think we've waited long enough for the Brown decision [the Supreme Court's 1954 edict outlawing school segregation] to be implemented. I was just coming out of the Air Force when that decision was handed down. Since then, my daughter, who was less than a year and a half, has practically...
...SOME time now I've had a ticket for a charter flight scheduled to leave for London the day after summer school closes. From there I'd planned to get to Dublin and then on to Galway, where, I'm told, I will find relatives--whose existence I have previously been quite unaware of--but who have nonetheless managed to acquire a hotel and are, surprisingly enough, getting on. Well, seeing Brendan Behan's The Hostage at the Loeb a few nights ago almost changed all that. Though I'm sure my second cousin's hostel cannot be half...
...course, I've no way of knowing if The Hostage comes to anything like "approximating the Irish character, "but that really doesn't matter since, in any case, The Hostage is a play which refuses to be judged by any consistent set of standards. If it must be genre-ized, it would probably come fairly close to being a bawdy, Gaelic Kaufman and Hart with a bit of Brecht thrown in--a description which however enticing it might look as a publicity blurb, still ignores the fundamental fact that this play is basically an extended music hall entertainment...
...impossible to synthesize the cumulative effect of such a play. The Hostage usually seems to proceed, like a variety show, from one comedy bit to another. Then, suddenly, it will stop. Some of the two-dimensional characters we've been laughing at fade into the background while others blossom into real three-dimensional human beings. The result are often quite moving. When Leslie (in which role Michael Sacks is again perfectly cast--in his khaki he seems out of a World War II movie, an English Van Heflin both in costume and good spirits), the British soldier stops...
