...after-battle studies show, merely sowed confusion. In budgetary planning, the JCS has rarely made hard decisions as to whether money might be best spent on ships, tanks or fighter planes; usually the Chiefs have simply stapled together the wish lists of all four services.

Along came Harold Ross, the demanding young editor of a new magazine called The New Yorker. White submitted pieces to the fledgling publication, one of which appeared in an early issue. Before long he was invited to take a staff position. Reluctant to report to any office on a fixed schedule, he nevertheless showed up for an interview.

Zakes Mokae, a 1982 Tony Award winner for Master Harold, engagingly re-creates his original performance as the darker, earthier, more mercurial and in the end more freely dreaming brother. The actors' blood knot of decades of fraternal friendship has only ripened their truth onstage. W.A.H...
