...whom were in the off Broadway production, are excellent. There is almost no plot: the film is carried through by the characters the actors create. All are distinct, interesting personalities, warped or beaten or hardened by their addiction: Leach (Warren Finnerty), terrified, somewhat effeminate, tormented by a boil on his neck; Ernie (Garry Goodrow), young, hypersensitive, a frustrated musician who toots pathetically on a mouthpiece because his saxophone is in hock; Solly (Jerome Raphael), crudite, witty, said and wise; and Sam (James Anderson), simple, naive, and humane...

Laurence's 3,000-word story had clearance, but a military censor on Tinian made him boil it down to 500 words-and for some reason the dispatch was then shortstopped on Guam. It never got out at all. The first newspaper accounts of the Hiroshima bomb consisted of stories prewritten by Laurence and others weeks before...
