OTHER ACTORS, however, are clearly a notch above their material. Charlie Weinstein's stage presence as Wenceslas, the schoolmaster whose ward Hasty tries unsuccessfully to seduce, almost revives the play near the beginning of the second act, though eventually he too gets bogged down in the inanity of the dialogue. First congratulating the castrated Hasty ("A deed like this can make you a beacon of the school system," he says) and then scornfully branding him a "capon," Weinstein does manage to infuse the play with whatever sense of menace it finally conveys. Emily Apter is also fine in the stereotypical...
Robert and Michael Meeropol have been refused many documents, chiefly from the CIA and the FBI, that they believe would clear the names of their parents, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed in 1953 as nuclear spies. Historian Allen Weinstein of Smith College, who has tried in vain for three years to open up the FBI files on the Rosenberg and Alger Hiss cases, complains: "The amendments haven't made any change as far as I can tell."

Dame Pliant (Andrea Stein) is a dumb blonde who turns out to be the prize for the rogue who out-cozens everyone, Lovewit (Will Englund), who returns from a vacation to appropriate everything Subtle and his partner Face (Charles Weinstein) have stolen. He is indulgently intelligent, the consummate man of the world...
...Minor Figure. The last two years of her odyssey brought Alpert some stability and peace. Tired of hearing anti-Semitic remarks while using such false names as Blake and Davis, she listed her name as "Carla Weinstein" with a Denver employment agency, and was referred to an Orthodox Jewish girls' school run by two rabbis. There she did office work, counseled the girls and found the rabbis intelligent and kind...
...hard to say who's the best performer in this tiny masterpiece because all four actors do such a superb job. Charles Weinstein as Giuseppe the uncommitted, conciliatory innkeeper plays the stereotypical, craven, religious Italian as completely as that kind of role allows. And Tom Champion plays a marvelous loon-tenant. He has this sense of uncanny timing, this air of naivete that works particularly well when he tells the strange lady to take off her dress so he can see if she really isn't that boy in disguise or when he casually draws a scenario for Napoleon showing...
