...Mannie, seems unduly and too suddenly horrified by the cat's screech; and the southern lingo seems unnecessary because any director knows how white trash talks without Kopit's telling him. But the play moves quickly and convincingly, perhaps as an aping of Williams, but not without its own vigor...
...approach seemed in order for the slower Hindemith pieces while more majesty could have been suggested in the second movement of the Baroque "Sonata." The disappointment in these passages seemed to be due to an incomplete understanding of the music on Harbison's part.

Springlike Tarheel vigor was at work last week from Kitty Hawk to Cherokee, from missile plant to church pulpit, reshaping a landscape once principally adorned by loblolly pine, flue-cured tobacco and two-room farm shacks. Near Laurinburg, Presbyterians broke ground for a new college, a few weeks behind the Methodist groundbreaking for a college at Rocky Mount and three years behind the brand-new $19 million campus of Baptist-affiliated Wake Forest College in Winston-Salem.

With characteristic vigor and energy, Morison started out by himself in May, 1942; by V-J day he had a staff of five officers and three enlisted personnel. He was personally responsible for all that appeared in the history, and though he was commissioned to write it, it was not "official" since neither Morison...
