...whole mood of the play tends to center around the mercurial temperament of Hedda. This leaves the rest of the cast at her violent mercy. The pathetically weak Thea Elvstead (Susan Levine), who has become the new love interest of Hedda's old flame Eilert Lovborg (Josh Frost), becomes one of the key victims of her wrath. In a revealing scene between the two, Hedda curls Thea's mousy locks around her fingers and snarls: "Maybe I will burn off your hair...
Other reporters have suggested that Jackson left the University of Illinois only after academic troubles and not because of the racist atmosphere Jackson claims existed. On Candidates '88, Marvin Kalb interviewed Jackson just like everyone else. So did David Frost on the Making of the President. In a Boston debate, local television reporter Andy Hiller pointedly challenged Jackson's record with regard to Jews and Israel. And early in the campaign, reporters put Jackson in the headlines for lending his face to an advertisement for a business school, forcing him to apologize and withdraw his endorsement...
Dukakis, now universally regarded as the party's front runner, kept boasting that he was a "national candidate" thanks to his clear-cut victories in Texas and Florida. But an artfully tailored campaign that garnered the support of Hispanics in South Texas and Frost Belt refugees in the condo canyons of South Florida did not transform Dukakis into a win-Dixie Democrat.

"I married him because he reminded me of my father," she says at a diplomatic gathering. "I didn't realize how much of a shit my father was." And it's mysteriously touching near the end, when she wistfully tells one of her many lovers, "There...
...Frost delivers another classic acting job. Early in his performance, he has a mixture of regality and clumsiness that is as confusing as it is recognizable. His character wavers between a confident, debonair diplomat and a parody of a bureaucrat, such as when he attempts to explain to Susan the benefits of the embalming process. "It keeps the body from exploding at a bad moment," he tells her. When he sees the expression on her face: "Of course, any moment would be a bad moment--that goes without saying." Later, as her husband, he swings quickly and adroitly from...
