...meanwhile, workmen were speedily constructing the presidential box for the Jan. 20 inaugural parade. Mindful of the Kennedy assassination, the Secret Service specified that the President will sit behind a protective setup consisting of a ¼-in-thick steel shield topped with a 1½-in.-thick slab of bullet-resistant plate glass...
Julian marries Miss Alice in Act III, upon which she and her entourage at once prepare to leave him. They call themselves "agents"; they are certainly worldlings; they may be Fate's Furies. Holding a mock trial and firing a mortal bullet into Julian's stomach, they proceed to teach him what Albee believes he knows. Man is alone. The universe is a void.

But no less remarkable than Kelley's survival was the strange and tortuous route that the bullet fragment had followed. Slowed by smashing through his skull, it had landed in the left transverse sinus (a large vein). Then it had ''flowed" in the blood stream along the transverse sinus, down the main jugular vein and superior vena cava, into...
