...Fleetwood) and her ladies-in-waiting, Maria (Lynette Davies), Katherine (Janet Chappell) and Rosaline (Estelle Kohler). In no time the lordly abstainers are meditating only on their ladies' beauty and studying how to sneak love letters to them. Irony outraces irony, and the jollity is compounded by a covey of curates, schoolmasters and clowns. The R.S.C. invests the evening with lyricism, ardor and joy.

On hand to speed his rehabilitation, and help him forget the $122.5 million in lawsuits that he faces, were a covey of admiring roommates. "I have 22 bedrooms, and 19 of them are occupied," said Cornfeld proudly. "Women give life sparkle and keep things from getting drab." Then, turning philosophical, he added, "I don't have huge expectations from any kind of friendship. In the final analysis...
Even before the report was issued, Dayan had been under attack by a covey of critics that included disgruntled veterans, Israeli doves and even members of his own Labor Party faction, who questioned his leadership. The commission's apparent whitewash of Dayan stirred fresh and damning attacks on the Defense Minister from within the government, principally from a left-wing Labor faction led by Deputy Premier Yigal Allon. Allon's supporters and the far-left Mapam faction threatened to bring down the government by voting against it if Dayan was not removed. Dayan's own Rafi faction...
