...must have relished pawing Nixon, who hated to be touched. For all Brezhnev's bulk, there was something oddly "dainty" about him, as Willy Brandt put it. Here was huge, shapeless Mother Russia dressed as a man, the androgynous nation full of bear hugs and danger...
Such missteps are rare. The bulk of the show-bulky indeed at three and a quarters' hours running time-is authoritative despite a setting and idiom which differ emphatically from the Shakespearean, the modern, or anything yet between the two.

The only revelation to be gleaned from the bulk of Lanford Wilson's plays, starting with The Hot I Baltimore, is that his characters are circusy clones of people originally conceived by William Saroyan, Tennessee Williams and William Inge. Their common plaint is that life has failed them, whereas it seems pellucidly clear that they have copped...
