...Clean Bombs. At his weekly news conference the President made two unexpected gestures of good will. Two weeks ago, he recalled, AEC Chairman Strauss and three top U.S. scientists had reported that U.S. H-bomb fallout has been reduced by 96%, and that, given more time and testing opportunities, they could be made 100% clean (TIME, July 8). Declared Ike: "If, ever under any circumstances," the U.S. makes another major H-bomb test, he would invite "any" other nation, including Russia, to visit the test site, "put its proper instruments in the air," and thus decide for itself the degree...
...potentially hopeful meaning. In the lab at Livermore, they told the President, scientists have found how to make H-bombs that will be 96% freer from radioactive fallout than the first models.

As the love-sick, not-too-bright Roderigo, Richard Easton indulges in the right amount of humor, even incorporating a few Harpo Marxian mannerisms. He properly appears with clean face at the beginning of the play; but, after Iago tells him to disguise his baby-face and increase the manliness of his appearance with "an usurped beard," he should of course don false whiskers for the rest of the drama...
