...VACUITY OF such dialogue can lead only to boredom or criticism. Miss Hayes, although convincing in her role, insists on moving about the stage not fluidly but solely in a series of jerky motions. Mr. Brookes's prime acting mechanism is his repertoire of grossly exaggerated facial contortions, which tend to detract from rather than enhance his overall performance...
...such an example of candor, the portraitists of lesser dignitaries seem to have really looked at their sitters, producing heads that represent real people with individuality rather than conventional images. Even the royal family was portrayed in familiar situations - kissing, hugging or dandling a child. Nefertiti's striking facial resemblance to her husband, however, is thought by some scholars to be the result of artistic license, a concession to the kingly features considered ideal at the time...
Ever since John Kennedy, there has been this compulsion to fly off some place. There is something about being at 35,000 ft. that increases a President's sense of omnipotence.

Even when Nixon is earthbound in California, he often sets out for a spin along the roaring California freeways. The amateur psychologists who travel with Nixon insist that in part he is running from his problems, seeking...

Caught between two women--an unwanted one who pursues him unrelentingly and a beloved one who affectionately refuses him -- and their bewildered fathers, Byers gracefully prances around the stage sporting engaging facial expressions. But he dandifies his role to the point where it is difficult to understand what the two women could see in him. Lorna Koski, as the woman scorned, strikes the most discordant note in the play. Unsuccessful at portraying Julia's passionate melodramatics, Koski appears to have lost not her decorum...
