...Turbulent, seething, and immense difficulties have for many years plagued New York City. These problems are part of the reason why it is one of the most colorful and most fascinating cities in the world. I wouldn't trade the cramped, pol luted, noisy and ungovernable city for any purified and antiseptic community in the U.S. New York is vital, New York is exciting, and New York is obviously where it's happening, baby. It may be a mess, but it's a beautiful and thrilling mess...
...case against Gerstein was shaky for more significant reasons. As one Miami lawyer explained: "Everybody knows that if you make restitution in a bad-check case your case will be dis missed on the first go-round. You wouldn't bribe anyone.

I'm not interested in just the Afro-Americans, but in all students...
Perhaps Sligar and Son wouldn't seem so bad, if it didn't try to pass itself off as a slice of ghetto life, circa 1967. But this is what it does, from the language to Debbie Waroff's fine naturalistic set. Not for a moment does the playwright convince us that he knows what he is talking about. (Hardly does the play begin when he shows us a hippie reading that revolutionary tract Black Like Me.) The playwright who wanted so much to give his work the sound of Stokely Carmichael gave us the sound of a foul-mouthed...
