South Africa's Prime Minister had a tough fight on his hands. To a convention of his United Party in Bloemfontein, Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts denounced the Broederbond (League of Brothers) as a "dangerous, cunning, Fascist organization." Smuts ordered South African civil servants and state schoolteachers to resign Broederbond membership at once. His stern alternative: resign their Government jobs...

The play has all the book's affirmation, but not enough of its anger-for one thing, because General Marvin is nothing more than a first-act offstage below and never becomes a visible antagonist. Squeezing the whole life of the Sicilian town into Joppolo's office also carries penalties: some things...
