No, I'm afraid for all their potential, unrealized talent, there's a good deal of the Kind and the Duke about Joel and Steve Polinsky and their attempt at Theater Two. But then how do you tell them that? And, worse, how do you tell their mother...

Blindfolded and carted off in buses, one of which had a VISIT ISRAEL poster on its side, the fedayeen were confined in Nablus. Their status was uncertain, since they had committed no hostile acts in Israel. Still, they were the fortunate few.
