...styles just as much as the plastic-covered crazy-quilt robe that King Henry dons in his first scene. Even the costumes (executed by Jeanne Button) run from period Renaissance garb through World War I gear and World War II uniforms to a present-day sweatshirt with Ché Guevara's face on it. But make no mistake about it: Kahn is an extraordinarily ingenious director with a fertile imagination; taste and self-denial will surely come in due course...

The left Lowell eye may be modishly on the topical-Che Guevara, police, R.F.K., student riots, Dr. Spock. But the right eye glints backwards to Agamemnon, Sir Thomas More, Napoleon, King David, Adam. "I am learning to live in history," Lowell writes and adds, as his chameleon's tongue flicks out to ingest another aphorism: "What is history? What you cannot...
