Sexuality resides in much more than what is spoken or even enacted, and its stage representation will often work best when the minds of the spectators are collaboratively engaged in completing the desired response. John Russell Brown, founding Head of Drama at the University of Birmingham and a former Associate Director of the National Theatre, here explores Shakespeare's arts of sexual obliquity, whether in silence, prevarication, or kindled imagination, and their relationship both with more direct forms of allusion and with an audience's response. John Russell Brown, currently Professor of Theatre at the University of Michigan, is author of numerous books on Shakespeare and modern drama, and editor of many Elizabethan and Jacobean texts – most recently a new edition of Shakespeare for Applause Books, New York.

John Russell Brown, who was a founder member and first Head of the University of Birmingham's Department of Drama and Theatre Arts, and subsequently an Associate Director of the National Theatre in London, here responds to the article by NTQ co-editor Clive Barker in our May 1995 issue, ‘What Training – for What Theatre’, taking as further text an editorial by Richard Schechner in the Summer 1995 issue of TDR. Currently, as a Professor of Theatre at the University of Michigan, John Russell Brown is teaching a production-based undergraduate acting course, and is also an advisor for Theatre Studies at the University of Singapore and a consultant to the School of Drama at Middlesex University. He draws upon this wide range of past and present experience to explore the issues raised by Barker and Schechner – and to suggest some possible ways forward.

THE problem of health services for children of school age is particularly timely in view of current interest in such services. The editors of this column have asked several authorities in this field to state their opinion of the objectives of a school health service and to describe practical methods of attaining these goals. The first two letters in the current issue deal with this subject; other letters on health services for children of school age will be published in subsequent issues. Dr. James L. Wilson is professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan; Dr. Jessie M. Bierman is professor of maternal and child health at the University of California School of Public Health; and Dr. Dorothy B. Nyswander is professor of Public Health Education in the same school, and the author of "Solving School Health Problems, the Astoria Demonstration Study," the Commonwealth Fund, 1942. The last two letters are from Dr. Albert D. Kaiser, health officer of Rochester, New York. Dr. Kaiser has described the program of the Council of Rochester Regional Hospitals for improving medical care in the 11 counties served by the member hospitals in the June issue of this column. His first letter in this issue describes how these services might be extended if additional funds were available. His second communication serves to make clear what was meant by "institutes conducted for . . . governing boards" as described in the eighth paragraph of his first letter.

This chapter recounts Julius Chambers's achievements during college, graduate school, and law school. After graduating summa cum laude from North Carolina College for Negroes and obtaining his masters degree in history at the University of Michigan, Chambers was admitted to the University of North Carolina School of Law, desegregated the prior decade by federal court order over the forceful objections of University and North Carolina officials. Chambers, despite being ranked 112th among the 114 students admitted to the Class of 1962 and notwithstanding a generally unwelcoming, often hostile atmosphere at the Law School and on campus, became editor-in-chief of the Law Review and graduated first in his class. This chapter also details Chambers's marriage to Vivian Giles and the couple's decision to move to New York City when, after no North Carolina law firm would grant Chambers a job interview, Columbia Law School quickly stepped forward with the offer of a one-year fellowship.
