Usage:

...turn as dark-colored as possible just before a pursuing enemy catches up with it. Then it ejects as a decoy a blob of inky water about as big as itself. Simultaneously, it turns light-colored and takes evasive action, pretending to be something else. This system fooled Hall, and he believes that it ought to fool the squid's natural enemies...

...rest of the leads are generally well handled, especially that of the Grand Mikado (Victor Altshul). He has an impressive voice, and combines a regal loftiness with the eagerness of a village fool. The tendency toward madness is also reflected in the executioner (Ned Marcus), who leaps and leers his way across the stage. Marcus' continual body motion and fast pace tend to be a bit too intense, but he is quite funny, and could be even funnier if he would slow down enough to let all the lines come across. His best moments are with the old maid, played...

...intelligence officer who has more trouble selling his own high command than he does in hoodwinking the Germans. His toughest job is finding a proper body: that of a man of military age who has just died of pneumonia-so there will be enough fluid in the lungs to fool a Spanish prosector into believing the man has drowned.

...meet in that condition. He never contacted Ulen, before or after the meet. He foisted his ignorance off on the Crimson swimmers, charging them with falling short when they exceeded all they had done before. For this reason, Danzig should never have written his article. That he made a fool of himself to the informed is inconsequential. That he panned some guys who swam their hearts out and succeeded eminently matters very much

Possibly the State Department feels that this active acquiescence in the arming of Israel will fool the Arabs, while calming Israeli fears. It is unlikely, however, that the guise will be any more effective than Russia's use of Czech arms. Worse, this attempt to use the French as a decoy represents not only diplomatic ineptitude, but moral cowardice. If we are unwilling to commit ourselves fully to Israeli interests, it is indeed base to attempt to force the French into it. France with her Algerian problem, is as interested in maintaining Moslem goodwill as the United States, and hence...
