...Supreme Court Justice John M. Murtagh last week. With that he recessed the pretrial hearings of 13 Black Panthers accused of plotting to blow up department stores, police stations and the New York Botanical Garden. Murtagh's ire was understandable. For 13 days the defendants directed streams of verbal vitriol at the bench and the prosecuting attorneys, bringing courtroom proceedings to a virtual standstill.

Needless to say, the aesthetician is today almost dispensable, even obsolete, in the verbal disciplines. Critic W. K.

...contemporary theater is undergoing both an identity crisis and a crisis of survival. It is trying to rediscover its pre-verbal origins, and it is trying to isolate what it is that theater can uniquely do that films and television cannot do. This has led in two directions, one sacred, the other profane, both of which, like diastolic and systolic pressures, have always been at the heart of theater. With Jerzy Grotowski and the Polish Laboratory Theater, the emphasis is on the sacred, on a lacerating spiritual intensity, a stripping to the soul. With Hair and Oh! Calcutta! the emphasis...
