...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. The result: a serious blow to U.S. international prestige...
...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.

Other series of nude men, women and children are done without a hint of prurience and provide a brilliant study of anatomy. The price tag on this rediscovered classic is prohibitive, but no library can afford to skip works that prove photography was a high art long before the electronic-shutter and autofocus robots that now pass for cameras...
