Much of the blocking seemed excessive even for comedy. Why did Cronin's wife shuffle so strangely, even if she was pregnant? And why did Catherine Harris, who was doing prudery quite well, have to march ten feet and deliver the same Victorian brush-off every time an advance was made to her? The slapstick trip-ups between Cronin and Hogan looked under-rehearsed. In fact, most of the movements in Act 2 looked unrehearsed...
After his meeting with Hussein, Arafat paid a courtesy call on the Soviet ambassador in Amman. As it happened, less than 24 hours later Moscow announced that it had received good news about its own brush with the vagaries of Middle Eastern terror. Three Soviet diplomats kidnaped in Beirut on Sept. 30 had been released in that city, 28 days after the body of a fourth Soviet kidnap victim, Consular Secretary Arkadi Katkov, was found with a bullet through the head.

...ability to flesh out a character in a few deft strokes has made him one of Hollywood's most versatile leading men. But as his paintings attest, Gene Hackman, 55, enjoys working on canvas almost as much as on celluloid. During the 1950s the actor first took up the brush as an art student fresh out of the Marines and resumed in earnest about eight years ago. Though he finds painting "more serene" than acting, and has more than 100 oil landscapes and portraits to his credit, Hackman has neither the desire nor the time to mount a gallery show...
