...since 1968???and director of the current smash London musical Cats?visited the U.S.S.R. "The director of the Gorky Theater told me that for the next six months his company would be working on the Pickwick Papers," Nunn, 41, recalls. "It emerged that such large-scale adaptations of Dickens are commonplace in Soviet theater. In a sense, that shamed me into it."

Not only is he in a position to show his race the way out of apartheid politics; he could also wield considerable influence in the selection of the G.O.P. presidential candidate in 1968???and beyond. Though he is cagey enough not to commit himself so soon, he leans toward Michigan's George Romney for '68.
