Brazil's Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de Mello-"Chatô" to Brazilians-has fallen on sad times. He was the builder and sole commander of an $85 million, 58-company empire that included 31 newspapers, twelve television stations, 22 radio stations, four magazines, a news agency, two pharmaceutical laboratories and three coffee-and-cattle ranches. He crusaded to push Brazil into the air age, with a campaign that dotted the nation with aviation clubs. He built child-care centers all over Brazil, bullied friends and enemies into filling a $15 million Sāo Paulo art museum with...

In her work it never takes on mystical qualities or solves life's problems upon arrival. Similarly, talent by itself means little; accomplishment is a truer index.

The author's technical refusal to base the play on a crisis situation is beautifully suited to this theme...
Gromyko's chat may have paid off. Said one leading Yugoslav official after Gromyko's departure: "If we had to make formal application either to the Common Market or to Comecon, we would apply for full membership in Comecon, with the full knowledge of all the political and economic meaning of such a move...
