Could this classic mismatch have worked? Probably not. He was ungiving, and she was too taking. Tom seemed most content playing bridge, in bowler and brolly, with his wife's mother (Margaret Tyzack) and brother (David Haig). Viv imagined herself, with a mixture of impishness and foreboding, as the mistress of Dr. Crippen, the Edwardian wife murderer. Nice judgment, that: Viv is the picturesque victim slipping into madness, and Tom is the deadly St. Eliot, ( condemned because he took advantage of a sinner...
...operate in a straitjacket. So drudgy Tom sets the play's pace and defeats the efforts of Herrmann to animate this stick--a challenge not usually above him, as he demonstrated two years ago in Plenty, playing another man of propriety married to a disturbed idealist. Covington, Tyzack and Haig (imported from the Royal Court Theater in London, where Tom and Viv was first produced last year) perform admirably in better roles, ones with a little shading, irony and spunk.

And Weinberger could have a tougher time picking up yardage with a Shultz ally calling...
Clark, 53, whose friendship with Reagan goes back to the President's two terms as Governor of California, arrived in Washington as Deputy Secretary of State under Alexander Haig. Clark's appointment raised eyebrows because of his scant knowledge of foreign affairs. But he quickly overcame the know-nothing image. During his 15-month reign at Interior, Clark has changed few of his predecessor's policies, but he has scored points with some conservationists for at least listening to their concerns...
