...matter how it is applied, the Feinberg Law will corrode the basic freedoms of opinion and expression. Many teachers will not join organizations that they fear have been or will be declared subversive, nor will they dare make statements that wander too far from the orthodoxy of the times. Even if the threat of expulsion is not very great, there is always the possibility of a hearing which is almost as unpleasant. Justice Douglas' dissent, which predicted a vertitable spy system growing up in the New York school system, is not so alarmist as it might appear at first reading...
...manner of soldiers, doctors, refugees, and Arabs wander on and off the stage, but they all contribute more to the development of Lili Engel's character than to any coherent story. Their own character are sketchily drawn; one--a hunchback doctor by the name of Ghoulos--makes no sense at all.

...fact, much of the dialogue is confined to Italian or supposedly expressive animal noises. There is an excuse at least for the former: the play is set in a Gulf Coast village populated largely by Sicilians (all of whom manage to wander on stage at one time or another). One of these immigrants (Maureen Stapleton) is a young widow, pathologically devoted to the memory of her husband. The story revolves around her emergence from a sterile world of false idealism into Williams' "real" world of animal love and passionate emotion. When Serafina Delle Rose's belief in the perfection...
