...issue came to a head last Tuesday when the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence defied Reagan and recommended cutting off covert aid to the contras. The lawmakers decided that the Administration's professed goal of stemming the flow of arms to rebels in El Salvador could best be accomplished in the open. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence rejected this proposal on Friday, and the covert funds are likely to continue at least until the end of September. But the committee insisted that in the future it have the right to approve or veto specific covert activities...
...intercepting the arms flowing to the Salvadoran rebels were the Administration's only objective, there would be little reason to keep the operation covert. Money for border patrols and similar activities could be openly provided, as it now is to Honduras and other friendly nations. But restricting the arms flow will not dissuade the Nicaragua regime from trying to export its revolution. The only way to do that, the Reagan Administration evidently feels, is to aid the contras fighting inside Nicaragua.

UNFORTUNAIELY, the constraints of theater as a medium disrupt the continuity that would have brought out the dream nature of the second act itself Time and the Conways should have been a screenplay, because only film, with its uninterrupted flow, could cast the spell that moves Kay through time. But the breaks for set and costume changes necessary to bring the action up to--and back from 1938 ruin the transition between Kay's states of perception. As a result, Act II appears to be a mere leap in chronology rather than, as the author intended, a transformation of consciousness...
