...newspaper clippings, back issues of TIME and a collection of political reference works -indispensable to the research staff. "After packing up all the cartons," Chief Nation Researcher Margaret Boeth recalled, "we realized that we had left out one book-the Bible."

The play deals with the reunion of four former high school basketball stars and their coach. As the evening progresses, fond memories of "that championship season" drunkenly give way to confessions of failure, infidelity and corruption...
