...sensed presence of a third and fourth individual hovers over the first eight letters like the CRR photographer at an obstructive picket line, making itself felt explicitly only in the very final exchange. I refer in part, of course, to the requisite Other Woman. How much is left unsaid by the simple title "vice president" consistently attached to Katherine Moos's name does not become clear until, following Epps's request that she designate an SDS member to supervise security. Moos replies bluntly: "Bonnie Blustein, '72, has taken responsibility for assigning marshalls for the Convention." That name! That symbol...
...rites have their dangers; they can become "spoiled rituals" if the departed guest comes back for his forgotten umbrella, or if the transferred employee is reassigned to his old job. Then he and his well-wishers find they have participated "in an inappropriate statement, yet one that cannot be unsaid." The extreme example is "the Enoch Arden case in which a person returning unexpectedly finds not only that his place is no longer available to him, but that another person has filled it, thereby creating what may be worse than a sociological demise, namely, a sociological double...
...East Village in 1967, is included here in an expanded version.

One was that two days before he reportedly awoke at 2 a.m. to wrestle with his conscience over the Calley affair, the President discussed congressional distress at the guilty verdict by telephone with his party's leader in the House, Representative Gerald Ford of Michigan-although the White House insists it was not the President...
...John Gielgud has taken the same tack in staging All Over. But in Home, the broken-off dialogue, the short pauses, the long silences, filled the stage with the resonant, poignant music of life's approaching nighttime. In Albee's play, the air is filled only with unsaid nothings. If ever actors could save a script, these are the ones to do it. Jessica Tandy and Colleen Dewhurst, in particular, have and show the dramatic power, skill and sensitivity to raise Lazarus. But then Lazarus was the life of the party compared with AII Over...
