Redgrave would do well to cut down somewhat on all the donning and doffing and crumpling of her tricorne. Freedman has involved her in one inspired bit of innovative staging: during the singing of "O Mistress Mine" Orsino and Olivia appear in the opposing balconies, each meditatively gazing up into the night sky; Viola silently enters below, and, while listening, looks up at first one and then the other. We thus have a visual triangle to underline the love triangle in which the three characters are involved...
Administration officials have good reason to be publicly cautious in their prognoses. For one thing, breakthroughs in the past have faded embarrassingly quickly in the face of continued negotiating deadlocks. For another, Washington does not want to appear too eager for an agreement lest that weaken its bargaining position with Moscow and later make it more difficult to win ratification in the Senate.

The splayed, unideal awkwardness of the figures, and the way they appear half buried in the ground, can be traced to Degas's bronzes. The softly modeled, bulbous heads with their almost genital mouths come straight out of Picasso in the early '30s, as does the sense of cubist rotation; and so forth. But such a catalogue would not take account of Frank's originality...
