Space Laser Fight, Boxing and Football, all designed by a Japanese firm called Bambino, have the cleverest electronic displays on the market this year. In the football game, two teams, their lighted figures clearly seen as if from above, pass, kick and evade tacklers on a field that measures about 1 in. by 3 in. In Space Laser Fight, as in Boxing, two tiny figures -moving pictographs about ¾ in. high that can crouch, jump and do battle-face each other and fight. The miniaturization is astonishing. Sound effects are imaginative and frequent; when a spaceman gets zapped (a pictograph...
...SMART MONEY (whoever that is) would have you buy a piece of Mark O'Donnell instead of, say, Douglas Aircraft or Gulf Oil. During the time he went to school at Harvard, O'Donnell was known as the best and certainly cleverest of student playwrights. The last play he wrote here was his senior thesis, called Summer Work. The Harvard Premiere Society decided to put it on the stage, mounted it in Dunster House Dining Room, and a sweet work...
Those of you who have read this far are very lucky, for I am now going to reveal to you a fact unknown to dozens of the nation's cleverest political pundits.

Dant's Purgatorio and Shakespeare's King Lear serve the same function for Purgatory as Milton's Paradise Lost did for Mintz, supplying characters, plot details and many of the show's cleverest lines. The thematic link between the Lear and Purgatorio motifs is the search for a missing woman who represents some kind of an ideal. For LaZebnik's Lear, who is both actor and director in a play about himself, it is Cordelia who is lost, while for Thomas, the young male lead, it is the elusive Adeline, who takes the place of Dante's Beatrice. Since Tome...
Iolanthe Gilbert and Sullivan obviously had a good time satirizing the pomposity of the British House of Lords--the task inspired some of their cleverest lyrics and catchiest melodies. Iolanthe is one of the favorites of G&S aficonsdos--who vie with each other in attempts to render the tongue-twisting Nightmare song-- and the current G&S Society production makes it evident...
