...Miller-Monroe marriage takes up most of the play's second half. It is an ugly and piteous picture; many persons will doubtless find it embarrassing, disgusting, and tasteless. Yet it is unsparingly honest. Miller does absolve himself of direct responsibility for La Monroe's death, but he makes no attempt to deny that he shares some of the guilt for the union's collapse. Over and above their validity as components in a work of art, the Monroe episodes constitute a precious document in the history of psychology; they provide the explanation by one knowledgeable, sensitive, and articulate observer...
With its occasional fuzzy lines and perhaps a disproportionate amount of time spent on the Miller-Monroe affair (though even this is doubtless the result of being true to its impact on the memory of Quentin-Miller), After the Fall is not so nearly perfect a creation as Death of a Salesman, but it is much more ambitious--both in content and in form. Miller wrote some 5,000 pages in order to get a working script of 180 pages, which took well over four hours to play. During the rehearsal period Miller trimmed and revised, and the work...
...Loeb, Rhoades; George Brown, president of Houston's Brown & Root, one of the world's largest building contractors; and Manhattan's Edwin Weisl, a wealthy corporate lawyer and Johnson's campaign co-manager in his 1960 bid for the presidency. Such men will doubtless have their say, but so will Walter Heller, whose personal memos kept Johnson informed of Kennedy economic policies. Johnson admires Heller and, unless Heller chooses to return to Minnesota because of his wife's poor health, intends to keep him on as chief presidential economist. Recently the President told a confidant...
...would really stimulate the U.S. economy. Dillon replied defensively that while the cut might not mean much to individuals, the total effect would be impressive. Byrd nodded. Things were going his way-slowly. There were still about 170 witnesses, pro and con, scheduled to be heard by his committee. Doubtless some of them would argue -as have Dillon and the Administration- that failure to pass the bill means a probable recession next year. But not everyone agreed with this. Last week the Business Council, whose 100-plus members are presidents and board chairmen of large U.S. corporations, heard a report...
...logic never counts for much in Sukarno's Indonesia. To the Bung, Malaysia is a challenge to his grandiose dream of a new Indonesian empire that would cut an arc through Southeast Asia from the tip of Malaya to the northern islands of the Philippines. Moreover, he is doubtless embarrassed by the contrast between Malaysia's economic well-being and Indonesia's own chaotic economy, which Sukarno has sadly mismanaged. A nationalistic crusade against Malaysia gives Sukarno a badly needed issue to divert his people's attention from the desperate shortages in food and clothing...
