There is, in fact, a bit of friction between presidential aides in the West Wing, where Powell and others now admit they have tended to underestimate Mrs. Carter's considerable potential, and the East Wing, where Mrs. Carter's staff would like her to get more attention, and yet, contrarily, overprotects her from the press, which she is quite capable of handling with a Southern combination of firmness and grace. Concedes Powell: "We just haven't done the job we could have in utilizing her. We've been so caught up in other things, we neglected...
...rife in some quarters. During the 1960s, Mao's Cultural Revolution in China was admired by many leftist intellectuals in the West, because it was supposedly "pure"-particularly by contrast with the bureaucratic stodginess of the Soviet Union. Yet that revolution, as the Chinese are now beginning to admit, grimly impoverished the country's science, art, education and literature for a decade.

...went beyond all permissible bounds in its Coney Island hodgepodge of a production. It did better in 1966, and still better in 1974. Taken as a whole, the current version is as good as the third. Even if one disagrees with some of Freedman's initial decisions, one must admit that the result is a smooth and elegant production. Not many of the players and staff have worked at the AST before, and Freedman was probably wise to bring in a considerable roster of people with whom he had worked elsewhere. With one major exception, the actors are more than...
