...modern technology and consumer goods. Ford, South Africa's biggest automaker (1977 sales: 42,874 vehicles), and GM together account for 26% of the automotive market. Goodyear, General and Firestone dominate tire sales; Exxon, Mobil and Caltex are leaders at the fuel pumps. Kellogg's cereals are found on 40% of South Africa's breakfast tables, and Otis elevators convey riders in two of every five office buildings.

Piety aside, the broader and deeper emotions are not often invoked. The performance unavoidably remains a bit rarefied, which is no doubt why it is booked for a three-week run in the small (249 seats) theater of Manhattan Marymount College. After a similarly modest beginning in London, however, it escalated into one of last spring's solid West End hits. McCowen is scheduled...
