Her manic scurrying in denial of advancing age was a shrewd counterpoint to the prematurely world-weary languidness of Charlotte Cornwell, repeating her role as the friend, a disillusioned teacher of mixed-race youths. The Charleston version, which Fugard terms definitive, achieved the resonance between the mundane and the metaphysical...
...achieve through manipulative means wholly in contradiction with fundamental American values about honesty and forthrightness in government. Making matters more repulsive was a report a few weeks later which showed that the Administration doctored the evidence it did not invent implicating Khadaffy in the bombing of a West German disco the year before which led to the death of an American soldier and the U.S. bombing of Tripoli...
