...foreign aid, Washington seemed tired of it all. In the mouths of Administration leaders the timeworn arguments for the program -e.g., military aid is "vital" to the defense of the free world-had become cliches, wrung dry of meaning from reiterated challenge, reiterated response.

He labored over makeup and stage business-he once spent hours hurling himself to the floor of the Met's stage to learn how Boris Godunov should die. At a few hours' notice he could move through any one of half a hundred roles with...
