There is a theater crowd in places like Davenport, which is why bus-and- truck tours exist. The doyenne here is Mary Nighswander, a little old lady who wears her white hair in a bun and speaks telegraphese ("Knit it myself," she asserts of her sequined cardigan).

If she doesn't hand it over by intermission, she says, "the cast sits on the curtain for the second...

Conservative Columnist William Buckley recently lauded him as an "arrestingly bright young man." Cribb seems destined to supplant Gary Bauer, a conservative intellectual who was recruited from the Education Department as a ranking domestic adviser in the waning days of the Regan regime.
