...arrive, and his considerable ability is exceeded only by the length of his titles. At 24, Arthur L. Kopit is scarcely out of Harvard, but he has already shaped his talents on a series of campus productions that included How Sweet the Wine and How Dark the Color, To Dwell in a Palace of Strangers, Sing to Me Through Open Windows, and On the Runway of Life You Never Know What's Coming Off Next. Last week in London, preparing for its presentation next fall in Manhattan, Kopit's first-professional production reached the stage: Oh Dad, Poor...
Happily, this production has closed, and I will not dwell at length on its particular faults. Under Christine Denny's direction actors assumed one awkward configuration and then, usually with no dramatic motivation, moved to another. Many of the actors were periodically inaudible (Viereck must share the blame for this: his verse is not suited to speaking under theatrical conditions), one, at least, did not know his lines.

And those players on the top of the heap by the first game usually stay there; the coach must dwell on refining team coordination once the season has begun...

In his most recent book, The Necessity For Choice, he dares to dwell at length on possibilities the mere mention of which sends otherwise calm men into intellectual St. Vitus Dance. Kissinger's critics err grievously when they accuse him of being war-happy; on the contrary, he sometimes seems to be infected, in a unique way, with the same thermonuclear paranoia that vitiates the thinking of his opponents. For example, he provides a precise, methodical critique of summit conferences as substitute for well- formulated policies, but he might well jeoparadize his position...
