Etiquette. Her family's third-floor walkup, located in a "very, very poor" area, looks shabbier to her now. "I remember when I was growing up that it was decorated nicely," she told TIME Correspondent Sandy Burton. "We had a red velvet couch that I thought was beautiful." Diana's youthful memories are free of the usual ghetto scrounging and deprivation. Her whole family (three brothers, two sisters) sang in the choir of a Baptist church, and Diana learned secular music from a cousin who was known as "the girl with the golden voice." Diana took high school...
...Prentice (Laurence Luckinbill) has just advertised for a secretary-typist. In comes Geraldine Barclay (Diana Davila), a toothsome cutie of unblemished innocence. Before anyone can say "stocking fetishist," he has her stockings off. Before anyone can yell "body snatcher," she is lying nude on the doctor's examination couch (behind a curtain, that is-this play caters only to the playgoer's imagination). In comes the doctor's wife (Jan Farrand), a blonde minibombshell charitably described by her husband as a nymphomaniac. When she makes her usual plaint about Dr. Prentice's lack of expertise...

This corresponds generally to the threefold mystical way to salvation of purgation, illumination, and union. The even more general movement...
Crowley took off the jacket of his expensive-looking, continental three piece suit and leaned back on the couch. He talked about the great increase in overtly-homosexual theatre in New York since Boys opened off Broadway (where it is still running) in 1968. "These plays come along," he said, "and homosexuals rush and descend on them-just like taste-makers anywhere else. But that audience runs out, and after two weeks these shows have to be playing to Mr. and Mrs. America...
Bill's mother confesses: "We knew nothing. Billy used to come in after a high, but he would act animated and alert. A couple of times we found him passed out on the couch. We just figured he was tired. He could have stayed right on the couch and died of an overdose. We wouldn't have known." Adds his father: "Last summer, we thought Billy was on something. We hoped it was pills or pot. What if it's heroin? What can you do then? You just kind of wish it away. Now I feel as if I have...
