...motel room near the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Milestones in the hectic trail between the Pine Manor Motel and the Governor's mansion: ¶ With his bony feet sticking out of the sheet that covered his body, Ole Earl held a press conference from his motel bed, told reporters why his frightened wife, Blanche, was seeking a divorce.

Standing in the middle of a large brass bed, she cries out her soul like an hysterical child, desperately pleading for magic magic, not realism. She can give you the virgin-like innocence of a child one minute and the drunken swagger of a two-bit slut the next. There is a fine Blanche latent here! There are some strang inflections and an unusual clipped speech that often give...
