...issues ago, TIME has not only chronicled history as it has happened but also shaped world opinion and enlivened the intellect of its readers. That the magazine has been so successful at these pursuits for so long is due in large measure to its 13 managing editors, or "boss men," as the first one, Henry Luce, once called them.

The other characters often fall into the same trap. Krim and Lewis are good actors with a bad script. So, their caricatures become borderline annoying, as they do not progress during the course of the play. The audience knows that Rolf, the blond, is dumb after five minutes of the play, but then must listen to every dumb line she submits. Hahs slips on a couple of her lines, which...
