Smith, a youthful farmhand, reported that an angel named Moroni had showed him some golden tablets that had been buried near Palmyra, N.Y. The tablets were in an unknown language, "reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics," and Smith could read them only by peering through two miraculous stones* that the angel gave him. The 522-page Book of Mormon declares that the New World's Indians were actually Jews who sailed from the Near East in the 6th century B.C., and that they were later visited by Jesus Christ after his resurrection...
Spain's Communist leaders remained unruffled. For one thing, such attacks from Moscow seem to confirm Carrillo's independence and could thus increase his party's popularity among Spanish voters. For another, as Party Spokesman Angel Mullor explained, the article "has not surprised us in any way.

...next question, of course, is whether or not two really superb actors could carry it off. It seems unlikely. Angel is occasionally rather shrill, and Dash is frequently stiff, but the fault seems to lie more with the book and direction than with the actors. Both of them have relatively good voices, and once in a while they manage to engage the audience's sympathy despite the play's flaws; but the cliches destroy the effect almost immediately. We can cheer Angel's decision to break out of the marriage when her husband has an affair--Angel does a brilliant...
