...reported what has been dubbed "Frascati fusion," for the town near Rome where his team detected the neutron signature of cold fusion. This, plus other announcements from India and South America, was beginning to give the doubters pause. Then, on April 25, the tide turned. Georgia Tech, having hastily withdrawn its fusion results the previous week for fear that its equipment was bad, made the reversal official.

The gesture is an apt visual metaphor not only for a melancholy nobody's passion to smash the barriers of loneliness but also for the yearning of the whole Moscow drama world to break down the confines of habit and tradition. Everywhere one goes in the theater these days, the same artistic self-criticism is heard: there...
