Karl Baldwin is well-cast as the "real man" who punctuates his brogued sentences to the ladies with frequent damns, and calls his faithful hunting dogs his best friends. But the strongest performance of the production is Tanya Contos's as Irene. Her reveries and reproaches fill the stage with the past, and she shifts easily back and forth from half-mad laughter to sober despair. Ken Bartel's direction respects Ibsen's carefully built-up structure of recurrent phrases and gestures. The result is a straightforwardly loyal production whose tense sadness is too direct to be shirked...
These marginalia dovetail with Anderson's more important work. A wide vein of moralism runs through much of his writing and his suddenly prominent persona. Though congenial and even gentle off the job, he adopts an almost snarling style in his frequent speechmaking and conveys rigid righteousness on paper. In his own mind he is a man with a mission; its imperatives are not to be denied. He calls himself a "watchdog on government" and says that he was "brought up with a sense of duty and a sense of outrage." He insists that the drinking or leching capers...
...Washington would help persuade the Government to award Pan Am some domestic routes and permit it to merge with a domestic airline. Pan Am sorely lacks continental U.S. routes that would feed passengers into its international network.

Pan Am lost out to National Airlines for the potentially lucrative Miami-London run, and other lines won route awards in the South Pacific, where Pan Am had had a monopoly. As for domestic routes, Civil Aeronautics Board officials decided...
JOHN B. CONNALLY has won a reputation of being, in his own words, "a sort of bullyboy on the manicured playing fields of international finance." That puts it mildly. The Treasury Secretary's frequent advice in White House strategy sessions on how to deal with an adversary is "Let's kick him in the nuts." But the wavy-haired Texan also knows how to turn thoughtful money diplomat when he cannot avoid it, and last week he veered again in that direction...
...aristocratic standards, Jean de Berry's appetite for possessions was extreme. He liked animals; so his menagerie included 50 swans, a wolf, a camel, an ostrich, 1,500 mastiffs, and a number of tame bears which, lurching along in specially designed carts, followed the duke on his frequent moves between chàteaux. As with beasts, so with priests: "He maintained in his home," wrote one chronicler, "many chaplains who day and night sang the praises of God and celebrated Mass, and he took care to compliment them whenever the service lasted longer or was more elaborate than usual...
