...Nebraska have adopted new laws allowing wives to charge live-in husbands with rape, and a similar statute in New Jersey will go into effect next September. More states permit wives who are separated from their husbands to charge rape, and women's groups elsewhere are becoming vocal on the subject. They resent what Nancy Burch, director of the Oregon women's center that Greta first contacted, calls the "archaic notion that a woman is her husband's property." The Rideout case is the first of its kind under the new laws to go on trial...
...beneath the session's cheer, there was an undercurrent of feeling among many Democratic factions that Carter is not really their President. Black leaders have been particularly vocal in their discontent, but it is shared by others: labor, Jews, intellectuals, farmers, urban leaders and old-line machine politicians feel a wariness about the man.

Beyond making themselves understood, however, some of the cast falter, unsure whether to play the operetta utterly deadpan--letting the audience laugh at these ridiculous characters--or to reveal that they, too, know the whole thing is a joke. Catherine Weary's sparkling Josephine holds the stage through sheer vocal perfection alone--she could probably handle Puccini with ease. Donald Hovey's Ralph Rackstraw, too, has a full, clean tenor. Now, admittedly there isn't all that much anyonecan make of the milquetoast roles of the love-struck couple; but both Weary and Hovey shuffle between dead seriousness and deadpan...
