   • 1983 December 3, Andrea Loewenstein, “Racism Denounced in a Powerful Play”, in Gay Community News, volume 11, number 20, page 20:

     Willie spends his bus money home playing a song to dance to on the jukebox in an effort to comfort Sam, and unlike Hally, who struck out at his old friend when his life began to go wrong, Sam does not pass down Hally's hatefulness, but instead treats Willie with the same gentleness he has shown toward him throughout the play.
