...second theory discounts the impact of Washington's China stroke and argues that the Geneva talks have been temporarily stalled by a familiar Soviet bargaining tactic. Said Richard Perle, an aide to Senator Henry Jackson and a stern but widely respected critic of SALT: "The Soviets bargain especially hard at the eleventh hour. They see us as pliant, and they have learned to expect that stonewalling will win further concessions from us." A senior Administration official conceded: "They sensed that we were eager for SALT.

Not that it isn't lively--Sellars sustains the initial gimmick with scene after scene of slapstick splashing and general mayhem, but balances his off-the-wall antics with a sound sense of the appropriate; invention almost seems subordinate to the text. If it frequently resembles a circus, it is an indisputably Shakespearean circus, the Bard doing breast-stroke, the actors barnstorming with the kind...
