...improbable becomes the norm in Albee's hands. Even when he seems to violate the plausible, he doesn't break the dramatic spell, but enhances it by adding to the brutel vacuity of the situation. And always the play does not depend solely on grotesque twists of plot for its effect. Albee's mastery of the English language at times can disper any incredulity with its beauty...
...EVENTS OF the last week are illustrative. The spark of the dispute was a Seattle Times news report on comments made by the dean in Seattle, Washington, in mid-February.

I had committed a grave offense by not asking the group's permission...

Says Bruce Geller, producer of Mannix, "It's all very confusing at the moment. No one really knows what will or will not work. Maybe television will be a little more experimental-trying to serialize novels, produce adult soap-opera concepts in prime time-than has been the case in recent years." The question remains whether that, in turn, will lead to better programs...
