...poetry as if it were prose; Rae Allen (Hippolyta) cannot shape a long speech so as to maintain any interest at all; three of the four young Athenians are incompetently portrayed, with only Mariette Hartley, as Helena, rising above mediocrity. Titania, Oberon, and most of their minions were neither human nor supernatural, and failed completely to blend the two in the way that the play requires.

We must rennounce uncomprimisingly the organization for mass violence as a final arbiter of international conflict.

Or driven by insecurity and fear, we strike out violently against others and ourselves, detsroying the fabric of community which might support our self-realization...
...picketers began at 4 p.m., but crowds rushed past into the MTA station, ignoring handbills the group gave them. NO RADIATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR CHILD'S, ARMS RACE OR HUMAN RACE, SANE's signs read.
