...compound the problem, most of the actors in this "bound-for-Broadway" production do not even try to enliven the proceedings. Ann Sachs as Lucy, the pale afflicted one, is the first character to appear on stage.

Even the lowliest enlisted man honors the American way of war: never walk when you can hitch a ride in a truck, never hitch in a truck when a Jeep is available, never ride in a Jeep when a helicopter is going your way. These profligate habits cost considerable fuel, as does...
