...seated as an independent entity and that Saigon's "puppet" government be barred altogether. Saigon, in turn, insisted on separate representation for the South Vietnamese delegation, and insisted that the N.L.F. "traitors" be kept away.

But are they perhaps homosexual buddies who have finally got rid of the divisive woman...

"We like to make noise," says Director Valdez, who studied drama at San Jose State College, "because society does not allow us to make noise." Like Valdez, most of the other guerrilla players are convinced that sooner or later they will all be heard...
