 Chekhov Three Sisters Project: 01/30/2005 - 02/05/2005
‘The interesting parallel set-up between Natasha and the three sisters is a strong indication of Chekhov’s awareness of the complexity of female sexuality as well as a device to indicate the artificiality of the theatrical exercise.
The sisters are united by familial bonds, by their orphaned state, by their commonly held dream of Moscow, by their general togetherness in the action and in the relationships that have developed as a result of their mutual unhappiness.’[2]
When reading Three Sisters, with the set in mind, one of the main things that struck me was that the sisters do not seem to care about the maintenance of their house.

But these statistics indicate that if we don't make significant progress in the professional and technical areas, the percentage of union representation in the total work force is going to continue to decline, and with it a significant erosion of political power and political presence.

At our professional issues conference we had three big-city superintendents talk about the value of partnership with the union--the superintendent of New York, the superintendent of Chicago, and the superintendent here in Washington, D.C. It was made clear that they could never accomplish meaningful change in their school districts without developing that partnership.
