...confrontation politics, drawing the line, negotiating from strength. The United States, emerging unscathed as the world's most powerful nation after World War II, could have used its extraordinary might to promote a peaceful detente with a much weakened and brutalized postwar Soviet Union, but chose instead to promote distrust, interventionism, and encirclement...
...years, the Middle East crisis has centered on emnity between distrustful rivals. Last week it focused on a deep uneasiness, even a distrust, between two close and intimate allies.

He was 22 when he wrote the play, perhaps he was not yet confident to deal head-on with the real issues of the revolution. His later, more radical plays, evolved a whole new kind of theater. In "Drums" there are hints of his presentational mode; the characters often seem to step outside of themselves, the bourgeois are prototype bourgeois, the proletarians a somewhat unsympathetic...
