...Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was met on the White House South Lawn last week by the President of the world's most powerful democracy. Her White House visit, highlighted by a glittering state banquet, was part of a whirlwind tour of America intended to reverse a decade of cool relations between the two countries. With a grandeur and grace that was reciprocated by her hosts, the Prime Minister succeeded both symbolically and substantively...

Few things cool extramarital ardor like the specter of passing on an incurable disease to a mate and then having to explain where it came from.

Noel Coward was the master of the clipped, ice-cool putdown; George C. Scott is the master of the bristling, white-hot punchup. His voice is an explosion in a gravel pit, and he moves across the stage like a bulldozer in a china shop. Knowing that it would be folly to imitate Coward's brittle delivery and soigné manner, Scott has turned an airily sophisticated comedy into a rollicking, slambang farce...
