Given the burdensome text of the play, its often trying twists and turns, and the demand for imagination rather than representation, the cast pulls it off rather well. Michelle Haner is well-cast as the youthful and somewhat spacey Alex, who flirts with the various characters encountered in "Terra Incognita" and has a deep penchant for the "slanguage" of 1955. Susan Gray maintains a prim conservatism throughout the play as Fanny, a young old-maid from the Midwest. Amanda Frye wields words well as Mary, a "passionate scientist" with a particularly obscure vocabulary and an inclination to corny eloquence...
...strong Thai anti-smoking and public health movement has managed to decrease the smoking rate from 30.1 percent of the population in 1976 to 26.4 percent in 1986. But leaders of the movement worry that U.S. entry into the market would increase advertising, create demand and increase consumption, further endangering public health.

...Supreme Court in allowing prosecutors to use illegally seized evidence. The high court ruled in 1984 that such evidence was admissible so long as police obtained a warrant and were acting in "good faith."

Oregon and Hawaii, respectively, going far beyond the U.S. Supreme Court, have used the free speech and privacy guarantees in their constitutions to strike down...
Money aside, the A's took a risk signing such a fragile superstar to a five- year lease. And in doing so, Alderson must have realized that Rickey Henderson would demand an expensive extension of his four-year, $12 million contract. If the A's win the Series again this year, other players will want their share. Building a strong franchise is tough enough in these days of free agency and oversize payrolls. Staying at the top is next to impossible. "Everybody thinks he's underpaid," sighs Alderson. Owners of other teams, of course, think Alderson is paying too much...
