Veterans Together. Stevenson's triumphal, whistle-tooting week began when Estes Kefauver called a press conference in the Congressional Room of Washington's venerable Willard Hotel-the same room where he had launched his campaign last December. There, standing by accident beneath an EXIT sign and flanked by grim-faced Manager Florence ("Jiggs") Donohue and onetime Truman Attorney General J. Howard McGrath, Estes sadly read off his statement. Stevenson, "alone with me," fought his way through the primaries, said Estes; Stevenson had polled "over 600,000 votes more than I." Since Estes did not want...
Second, remember that good acting doesn't end when lines end. There is more to it than delivering speeches flawlessly and then just waiting, like Pygmalion's statue, for Aphrodite to give the cue to speak again. You must act from the moment you appear on stage until you exit. This is what Bobbit has mastered; he is always acting, interacting and reacting, whether he is speaking or not.

He takes care, it seems, to avoid having his characters leave the stage by the same exit any two times during the evening. Indeed, Seale has probably been too assiduous in filling the background of each scene with two or three people leaning against posts or draped over railings; this often gives an artificial, posed effect. But in general Seale displays a sure taste for the fast-moving...
...back just one of the seven pounds he lost after his ileitis operation. His brown summer-weight suit now fitted a little loosely, his West Point-squared shoulders looked lean. With Mamie on his arm to lend balance, the President carefully took the five steps down from the hospital exit, mustered up one of his fine smiles and a wave for the battery of photographers. Then he slipped gratefully into Mamie's black Chrysler Crown Imperial, and sagged back against a white pillow. In a moment his Secret Service driver wheeled the car out into Washington traffic...
