Much of the farcical byplay is implicit in the lines; but just as much remains to be invented, and this production is inventive indeed. Dr. Caius' business of hunting for his green box turns into a frantic cat-and-mouse chase through double closet doors--an old gimmick, but still effective. When Falstaff says, "There's my purse," he reluctantly drops a small, silent pouch--obviously empty. The wives make a big point of exchanging the love letters to be sure each has the right one, when both letters are identical. Ford's "The clock gives...
...Great New Plan." With sublime and confident arrogance, Russia's boss ignored Eisenhower's personal warning and rejected a final set of Western concessions at Geneva-concessions that included an implicit offer to accept a communique making no direct mention of Western occupation rights in Berlin.

...share for a tin of beans. First to die is the child; then, in some of the most dreadful descriptions in recent fiction, the others go. Only the former commander of the soldiers is left, and he is reduced to cannibalism. With all its obvious symbolism, its irony, its implicit plea for man's humanity to man, Death in That Garden will best be remembered as a tale of adventure brought off with literary flair and an almost savage imagination...
