Some of the characters are played with more enterprise than others. Daniel Seltzer's independent, personable Ulysses, Robert Thurman's willowy, boyish Troilus, William Fitz-Hugh's dim-witted Ajax with his fatuous pride, Alvarez Bulos' slippery Pandarus with oily speech and manners, David Stone's manly Hector, Travis Linn's pious Nestor, Jean Weston's over-wrought, unkempt Cassandra--all have individuality in one degree or another...
...conclusion, Mr. Aaron has staged the assassination of Hector brilliantly. This is his best scene. It provides Shakespeare's contemptuous resolution of an apathetic story with a well-planned, well-performed climax in terms of theatre. But in my opinion, the enervated drama as a whole gives amateurs impossible problems. They cannot speak either the prose or the poetry with music or clarity. Nor can they strike sparks off one another, as a professional company can. They remain individuals acting at one another rather than with one another...
FIELDING. Both teams have good infields, although Pittsburgh's is a shade better because of the fine double-play combination of Second Baseman Bill Mazeroski and Shortstop Dick Groat, who claims that his broken left wrist has mended.

Byzantine Intrigue. Initially, Trujillo responded to the possibility of OAS action against his dictatorship by trying to camouflage the regime. Oppositionists were encouraged to participate in next year's elections. Trujillo removed himself from the palace, his brother Hector from the presidency, his son Ramfis from the chairmanship of the combined chiefs of staff. He turned over the regime to Vice President Joaquin Balaguer, an old henchman...
Trujillo is in retreat. Last week the 68-year-old Dominican dictator emptied his desk and closed his office in the National Palace, where-whether officially President or not-he has ruled the country for 30 years. He fired his brother Hector, who for the past eight years has been stand-in President. He sent his son Ramfis, the onetime tabloid-headline playmate of Kim Novak and Zsa Zsa Gabor, off to Geneva to "advise" the Dominican delegation to a trade conference. He bounced two lesser Trujillos from high government jobs. And he named himself chief Dominican delegate...
