...Minister of Overseas Development Barbara Castle-all far left-wingers. Nor is confidence helped by Labor's disturbing tendency to mix its uncertain economic measures and its contradictory morals. Wilson's government, for example, halted sales of arms and aircraft to South Africa, worth millions in hard cash, to protest against apartheid-a policy also invoked by the U.S., which perhaps can better afford it. But Labor has not curbed exports to Australia, whose restrictive immigration laws are based on color, to say nothing of trade with the inhuman rulers of Communist China...

...superb assistance. Producer Herbert J. Motley, Jr., must have coughed up a tubercular amount of cash to pay for Lewis H. Smith's dazzlingly varied, fresh, and luxurious costumes. The colorful, lively stage settings of Marjorie Ingalls and William S. Carter turned the vast desert of the Loeb main stage into the intimate oasis G&S fans remember the Agassiz stage to have been. The Adams House Lighting Society, in addition to ordinary competence, supplied some extra effects which I will not spoil by recounting here...
