...really felt left out was the Dodgers' top slugger, Duke Snider. A fine lefthanded hitter, he slashes fat pitches to right field. And there the Coliseum outfield seems to stretch away forever like a vast green cow pasture. In his frustration, Duke undertook to prove to Infielder Don Zimmer that at least he could heave a ball out of the park. In a pregame contest, he threw a ball up to the 76th row of the 79-row stands before something snapped in his elbow.

The passion of her seizures punctuates the sober dialogues of her elders and the dignity of courtroom procedure with the note of tension that lies beneath the whole action of the play. As her bewildered father, Layton Zimmer gives the weakest of the major performances, and fails adequately to show the importance of his growing awareness toward the close of the play. Supporting performances of note include those of John Hezlitt, Whitney Haley as the magistrate, Joseph Mitchell as the man from Boston, and Jack Rogers...
