Reeves' methods have long been heterodox. He generally avoids the telephone ("You rarely get into digressions on the phone, and digressions are often the most useful"), and he does not join those colleagues who would cover up a public figure's private pecadilloes. (Ford Aide Robert Hartmann, he writes, was "nasty, vindictive and loud-and that was when he was sober.") Reeves typically refuses to run with the pack.

Moments of total excitement such as these are rare in theater. I am sure that tonight's performance of The Days of the Commune will measure up, on the whole, as a success-if only for this robust fusion of music and dramatic spectacle. In Sanders...
