...final minutes, that this lightness was false all along--may offer a clue to the total imbalances of both production and script. That part of the audience which hung on until the end gets the payoff of a genuinely moving conclusion--the assurance that somewhere in the morass of stylization there was a story worth remembering. If the theatregoer is patient, not too sleepy, and willing to work, the evening is by no means a theatrical dead loss. Swartz and her company have coaxed a good deal out of this literary curiosity, perhaps as much as they possibly could have...
They're not saying that anymore, though, as Giant George is on the ropes, fighting to last another round. His stumbling block this last year has been Lebanon, a morass by any measure. Can you imagine what the second guessers would have done if Jimmy Carter and Cy Vance pursued the policy undertaken by Reagan and Shultz? Equivocate over whether they like the Israeli invasion or not. Refuse for a year to acknowledge that Syria has any interests whatsoever in the country.

Currently Mondale is a morass of promises and, as he appeared in a recent cartoon, seems deliriously wrapped up in the dance of making them. He seems neither a man with a vision nor a man with clearly delineated ideas, but some of his colleagues are. Not Mr. Glenn, indeed, who seems bent on arguing with the former vice-president about past records, but the other six. Many joke that these contenders are fighting for the pointless position of second place, but that position is anything but pointless in a primary. Coming in first is only important on election...
