...wreckers' ball awaits this seedy relic of past elegance. The lobby is a kind of limbo where the remaining tenants relate or display their past falls from grace. In The Time of Your Life, Saroyan gave us one whore with a heart of gold, the luminous Kitty Duval. Wilson is no piker. He gives us three: Martha (Trish Hawkins), April (Conchata Ferrell) and Suzy (Stephanie Gordon). Martha is a lost, innocent child, April her caustic Eve Arden-type sidekick, and Suzy the dumb one. It testifies to the durability of the goodhearted-prostitute cliche that audiences can still...

A local political candidate with a strong conservation program turned out to be board chairman of one of the county's worst polluters. A member of the water quality control board also served on the board of a paper company with a dreadful record for water pollution...
Increasingly, day-to-day leadership has fallen upon Duval, who is also Minister of External Affairs. A dynamic, innovative man who affects long hair and Carnaby Street clothes, Duval has come up with a series of plans aimed at alleviating the island's problems and ending its near-total dependence on sugar. He hopes to make the entire island a Hong Kong-style free zone, and to lure foreign capital with tax concessions and tax holidays. Duval hopes to develop tourism-and lovely, mountainous Mauritius, lined with coral reefs and frequently framed by giant rainbows, has much to offer...
