...common consent, no one toils harder for the McDonnell team than Mr. Mac himself. Aside from an occasional round of golf (he is lucky to break 100), his relaxation consists of a nap after lunch and two drinks before a late dinner with his second wife, the former Mrs. Priscilla Brush Forney. After the Jell-O and Sanka, Mr. Mac retreats to his den to dip into his briefcase until midnight. McDonnell's sons, J. S. Ill, 31, and John Finney, 29, both hold mid-bracket executive jobs in McDonnell's space center. They are the children of his first...

Tom Rosqui is most impressive as he chills the audience with the power and insanity of Frantz's explosive moods. Priscilla Pointer deftly handles the shifts between the confident conniving, insecurity, and subservience' that is Leni. Edward Winter is pathetic enough as Werner, the play's only shallow character. And George Coulouris (not a regular member of the Company) is convincingly imperious as the father...
Working with Researchers Berta Gold, Erika Kraemer and Priscilla Badger, and drawing on the detailed and perceptive reports from the field, Writers David Tinnin and Philip Osborne and Senior Editor George Daniels were able to fashion a comprehensive account of the events as they were happening, placing the present in the perspective of history...
