Life in general seems pretty
glum. Chekov, unlike most living
American dramatists does not
suggest that '1ove" can cure all
problems. For this we can be
thankful. One gets the feeling
that the millieu is somehow at
fault. Chekov wrote in the night
that preceded a vast social cata-
clysm that broke over his coun-
try. He had to look to the future;
the present was to dismal. Yer
shinin, among the most torment
ed Of the characters, says:
well, if they don't bring me
tea, let US discuss something -
Let us dream - for instance of
the life that will come after us
in two or three hundred years
Now I would like to make you
see that there is no happiness for
us, that there ought not to be
and will not be - We must work
and work, happiness is the por-
ton of our remote descendants"
With its romanticized provin-
cialism and its inability to change
a doomed way of life, Chekov's
countryside bears a striking re-
semblance to today's South. We
find the same profligate polite
ness, the same lassitude. But
Chekov's land has now been
charged with a new, if fearful
dynamism.

Sometimes when you need a
little fresh air you can always
join a posse, taking the Old Span
ish Trail and helping head 'em
off at Eagle Pass.
Not too often. Posse work can
be fatal, because whenever the
bad guys stand and fight they
never kill the good guys leading
the posse. but just a couple of
innocent cowboys who came
along for the ride. All the good
guys ever get is a wound in the
left shoulder.
There you are, and it's a good
life Drinking, poker and a ride
now and then. Just remember to
get out Of the line Of fire when
the marshal and the hired gun
singer have a showdown, and
you can live to be ninety before
they bury you on the lone
