...with a pert divorcee (Patricia Cray Lloyd). The desolate John Gabriel wanders out into the snow to die, and the sisters clasp hands of reconciliation over his body. Marshall, Murphy and Worth do the best that able professionals can with their roles but this production rarely gives them much scope...
...anthology is a father and daughter enterprise. Poet Willis Barnstone translated, alone or in collaboration, 276 of the 788 poems. Aliki Barnstone, also a poet and a contributor to the book, joined with her father in selecting the 311 poets represented. In scope and quality of translation, their work surpasses such previous efforts as the Penguin Book of Women Poets and The Other Voice: Twentieth-Century Women's Poetry in Translation.

But Sheriff S.L. Valdez is handling three times the calls he did two years ago, and Carl Andrews, an Episcopal priest, reports a heavy incidence of depression and child abuse. Says he: "A lot of the hopes and dreams never materialize...
...Webster-Collegiate, with which the OAD is intended to compete, still probably has the edge. Despite its smaller type, Webster's vastly greater scope, superior graphics (the OAD has none) and convenient thumb index (not available in the OAD) and $11.95 price tag make it still the better...
