...Washington Novel began after the Civil War as nothing more than a satirical yarn told by the likes of John William DeForest and Mark Twain. Despite the fact that the Federal Government had already begun to slip out of the hands of people--something that would-be Ralph Nadars like Francis Adams knew only too well--Americans still chose to treat their national leaders as if they were only extensions of their second-rate counterparts back home. But, during this century, Washington has grown so complex that mayors now must have advisors to learn how to cope with it. Alan...
...Edgartown rather than on Chappaquiddick, said Farrar, Arena said: "Teddy wants me to go back to the station. I've got to go." Oddly, Kennedy had already gone from Edgartown to Chappaquiddick not long before word of his presence in the area reached Arena.

But at the film's close he too is trapped on the Hilton, and all we've learned from the story is that it's a long dusty drive from Recife to Sao Paolo...
...plays were produced with engaging theatricality, as in the swaggering bawdiness of the Drama Club's Mandragora, the Machiavelli farce. Czech acting at its frequent best combines an animal energy with the timing of aerial acrobats. Czechs make superb comedians, and have that highest comic skill-to slip with a flash of the eye into the tragic mask. Czech direction is passionately intelligent. In Architect Josef Svoboda, they have the most imaginative stage designer working anywhere today...
