...Against this curious background of support for his policies and distaste for his personality, the President went to Asia. He had two broad objectives in mind. One was to show Hanoi that, where Viet Nam was concerned, it had to cope not only with "this Dictator Johnson with the long nose," as the President himself put it, but with half a dozen Asian nations as well. The other was to help cultivate the fragile shoots of regional cooperation that are beginning to poke through Asia's stony political soil, in which enmity has always flourished far more readily than...
Imelda's greatest triumph was a barrio fiesta, modeled after a village festival, that was held on the grounds of Malacanang the night the conference ended. Beneath gold lanterns that swung gently from broad acacia trees strolled 2,000 guests. All the visiting statesmen save General Park, unrelenting in a business suit, sported elaborately embroidered barong tagalog shirts worn outside the trousers; the ladies were supplied by Imelda with butterfly-sleeved balintawak and patadyong dresses...

Wheeler substitutes a broad cineramic "happening" stage for Brook's deep proscenium, paralyzing the underlings and thrusting the chorus in our laps. This is fine, for he makes good use of vertical poses (pyramids, piggy-backs, tableaux) at the expense of marching scenes and horas. But there are other problems. Kimball and Kimbrough, while excellent, are all too evidently acting toward their roles from their personalities (which shouldn...
