...efforts were in vain. To make the break clear, she fired the last of the Syndicate men in her Cabinet, then moved to convene her own session of the All-India Congress Committee later this month.

In retrospect, The Time of Your Life is revealed as a kind of prophecy, as well as play, prefiguring changing dramatic trends and the skeptical questioning of American values...
