...infests the room. At the crucial moment, the young man loses his chance for infamous glory as a hundred assassins gun down the President in a communal murder. Despite its grisly theme, the play is acridly funny in its satire of a society that, in the playwright's view, is teetering toward terror, anarchy and nihilism...
Unless one happens to be a voyeur, it is sexier to imagine plays with nudes than to actually see them. Sweet Eros is no exception to this rule, even though the naked girl (Sally Kirkland) in this off-Broadway one-acter by Terrence Mc-Nally is on view for almost an hour.

...children formal schooling for 36 school days in three separate walkouts this fall, finally ended last week. As might be expected in so bitter a battle, the terms of settlement-reached after a 27-hour weekend negotiating session-did not really please anyone. In the long view, the militant United Federation of Teachers may have lost far more than...
