...women fit their parts, least of all Sweeney, who is not at all the forceful, bravura wonderwoman Aristophanes had in mind for Lysistrata. She seems intent upon getting through her lines as quickly as possible with a minimum of enthusiasm or voice inflection, and in this respect she succeeds. Despite her best efforts, Christopher's speech and actions as Kalonike more closely resemble those of Long Island than of classical Greece while Boghossian's Myrrhine, who has a crucial scene with husband Kinesias (Joe Smith), is far more coy and less brazenly seductive than Aristophanes intended.

...elected, he would turn 70 a month after his inauguration-making him the oldest of all U.S. Presidents to assume the office. His opponents figure that he is most vulnerable on this issue. Nonetheless, except for a slight thickening around his middle since 1976, he looks as fit as ever. His aides released a report of his last physical examination, in April, which showed no signs of coronary disease and a blood pressure of 120/80-a rate physicians consider excellent. He has a touch of arthritis in his right thumb and a minor respiratory allergy to pollen. Reagan's aides...
