...alienated white youths like Shawn Slater, whom Robb is grooming as a future Klan leader. An ex-skinhead, Slater now heads the Klan's chapter in Aurora, Colo. Like his mentor, Slater has mastered the art of attracting publicity by staging events that draw the wrath of protesters. In Denver last January, he orchestrated a Klan rally on Martin Luther King Day that turned violent when anti-Klan protesters threw bottles, overturned a police car and battled police. The incident allowed Slater to score a publicity coup on CBS'S 48 Hours...

Many Americans who would otherwise have taken a trip in their own cars this summer have ventured far afield, thanks to the low-priced air tickets, and plan to rent cars. Hertz reservations are already up 25% from last summer, and have doubled in Denver and some other popular cities.

Long sections of dialogue were indecipherable even to those seated far forward. Worse, the production -- which will tour to Washington, St. Paul, Denver, San Francisco and Los Angeles this summer -- is encumbered by a generally second-rate supporting cast. Part of the problem may be in attracting top-quality actors to so long a tour, for the standard is well below what is customary on the National's stages in London...
