...similar retread vein is the road production of The Wiz, now at the Schubert Theater (where it will boogie until September 3). Again, this was one hell of a show four or five years ago. And you'll still have to pay grotesque prices to see this admittedly enjoyable production of The Wizard of Oz gone funky. Is it worth a $9 minimum? We think not. And if Boston's theatrical renaissance keeps going at the present rate, we'll be seeing Tobacco Road, Abie's Irish Rose, and Life With Father real soon. Can't wait...

Stories about tempestuous events and controversial issues bring us lots of mail. The responses are sometimes angry, sometimes supportive, but almost always serious. Lately, however, we have had a number of letters from women in something of a lighter vein. After Senior Writer Lance Morrow wrote the Essay "In Praise of Older Women" (TIME, April 24), he was inundated with notes thanking him for his encouraging insights. But other readers suggested that his double standard was showing. "Since when would men in their 30s be considered older men?" queried one. A young girl had a special complaint. "When...
