...February, the U.S.'s lanky negotiator, Philip Jessup, fell into conversation with Russia's barrel-chested Yakov Malik. From that conversation, the U.S. learned last week, came the series of talks which brought the first break in the cold war in months: the Russians were prepared to abandon the blockade of Berlin.

Everyone on the stage at Brattle Hall last night, other than Prospero, was obviously having a grand time, and that feeling was what they tried most to transmute to the audience.
