If the United States and Southeast Asian countries "make an agreement with Russia," he felt that China can be prevented from maintaining the nuclear weapons it will surely otherwise have in the near future...
...will be staged again. Enough of O'Neill's intentions are on view at the handsome new ANTA theatre. Many whom this satire is aimed at will be occupying its seats. If these people fail to realize that they are the butt, it won't be the fault of Quintero and his charges...
