...congratulations and thanks, and regretfully limit myself to discussing only a few of them. Margery Ziskind, as Grusha, gives one of the most touching performances I've seen on any Harvard stage. Grusha's simple faith and love, her fury at injustice, and her durability are portrayed with a passion so full that they always almost border on the stupid. Miss Ziskind miraculously keeps them on the right side of the line. A good performance would not have been good enough; Miss Ziskind's is magnificent...
...nozzle is Fidel Castro. Subjected to Castro's purposeful troublemaking and his example, old wrongs throughout Latin America took on fresh passion. Castro has claimed all Latin American discontent and injustice for his own, and though not all dissenters march under Castro's banner, the majority would admit his example if not his leadership.

Basil Kingsley Martin has been stirring such steam-heated passion since he became the Statesman's editor in 1931.

In the hands of a less urbane stylist, a sexual encounter between Faith and Jacques could be a coarse joke. But British Novelist Tom Kaye omits four-letter words; he is celebrating a four-letter god, Eros, the deity he believes makes the world...
...possession," wrote a languishing millionaire in 1921. "I am still in the position of a young man sitting on the rocks on a fine moonlight night in summer, holding the hand of a pretty girl and having a great desire to kiss her, but dare not do so." The passionate metaphorist. Frank Bemis, merely wanted to buy a particularly fine First Folio Shakespeare (he finally did, for $30,000), and his was the kind of passion only one bookseller could inspire...
