...first act races out of the gate, with clever lines and snappy, numbers. Lou picks up the pace in his jazu anthem to a reprobate. "Devil Without a Cause" Like the next song. "Ding Dong," which features Mandy Torpedoes and the Pips, the strength of "Devil" lies more in the excellent music and choreography than in any single performance. By the fourth scene, though, the audience is clearly itching to get back to subplot A--Harvard undergrads and alumni of what may be the most anachronistic club on campus dress up, drink up, and go wild. The mini-kickline near...
Indeed, Moon is in some ways quintessentially American. He was tortured in several communist prison camps and was once left for dead on a bloody snowbank in Dac Dong, but he survived to become an immigrant millionaire. A devout anti-communist, Moon's speeches frequently echo not only of one of his heroes, Douglas MacArthur, but also of earlier American patriots.

The border area is dotted with gun emplacements and camouflaged trucks, and swarms with bare-chested Vietnamese troops. In the middle of a nearby road, two 6-ft.-deep craters mark the points where Chinese artillery shells exploded earlier this month...
...Dong Dang is only one of many villages on both sides of the border that have felt the effects of the most serious clashes between China and Viet Nam. Ever since 1979, when hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops rushed across the frontier, low-level skirmishes between the Communist adversaries have been a springtime ritual. Although wildly conflicting reports from Hanoi and Peking have obscured the real extent of this year's fighting, the sheer volume of the competing claims and counterclaims appears to confirm that the situation has seriously deteriorated. Only last week, the Vietnamese claimed they...
