...said weeks before). Down the drain with that went the efforts of National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who only five weeks ago on a mission to Islamabad had attempted to convince Zia that his security and future lay with the U.S. America, offering its money and a hint of its might, had been spurned in quite embarrassing public circumstances.

...opening scene of striking ingenuity does not hint at the wrong-headedness to come. At the edge of the stage sit Kent and Gloucester, chatting and drinking champagne. Derek McLane's austere set leaves no place for warmth. Black gauze hangs menacingly. The Lincoln rests like a hearse--Lear's castle--upstage center. Its grille grins, its headlights stare.

Their movements, caught in chiaroscuro, give the studies an eerie, dreamlike quality that has never quite been duplicated.
