...almost everything he discussed with the leaders of Asia, President Nixon found it necessary to deal in immediacies: a shooting war, changing alliances, a U.S. troop withdrawal that has already begun. By contrast, in Rumania the President had almost no major questions of the moment on his mind. As the first U.S. chief executive to visit a Communist nation since the cold war began, Nixon last week broke diplomatic ground just by arriving in Bucharest. "We seek normal relations with all countries, regardless of their domestic systems," the President assured Rumanian President Nicolae Ceausescu. The two leaders thus began with...

...Lady Macbeth. Right from the first act, Charles Cioffi's portrayal is a remarkable piece of acting. Solyony speaks scarcely a half dozen times in all of Act I, and spends most of the time sitting silently on a chair in the corner. Nevertheless, Cioffi tells us a great deal about this morose and mysterious character. We notice a tiny facial tic, and a nervous fidgeting of the thumbs. Sometimes he talks to himself. At other times we perceive that the conversation is making no impact on him at all: his mind has drifted elsewhere, and his eyes have gone...
