There was this marvelous juxtaposition. The Armed Forces Vietnam Network, which has a news broadcast for five minutes every hour on the hour, would come on first with this bland statement by General Westmoreland about the victory we are winning and how Saigon has now been completely retaken and that there are just pockets of resistance left. And that would be followed at the end of the news by an important anouncement to all American personnel: All American personnel are required to stay in their billets until further notice.

Republican Leader Jerry Ford believes that...
...sets her free. Most interestingly, at the play's finish Mrs. Manningham's future sanity is left questionable when only a slight gratuity on the part of the director--a laugh, even a smile--would suffice to set the audience easy. It is an honest production, if a bland one, what a repertory company of poorly read but competent old pros might deliver...
