...government insisted that the bride must leave the country, but Armed Forces Commander Alfredo Ovando promised that she could return to see her husband. "Let her go somewhere to wait for a while," Ovando told the French consul, "but not too far up north." By which he meant, of course, not to Cuba...
...believe, for example, that abandoning most of the countryside to the Communists?the very core of Galbraith's plan?would not embolden and stiffen them rather than give them greater reason to come to the conference table. Secure in the countryside and immune from interdiction by air, they could husband their forces and then assault the allied-held cities with far greater strength than they showed in the past two weeks.

Still, hers is the most accurately gauged portrayal in a set of competent ones. Martin Andrucki, her murderous husband, wears thin through lack of modulation, and a vocabulary of stock gesture. His beard will live on longer than his performance. Andre Bishop, as Rough, wears thin through camp and self-indulgence, but at least has a sure sense of where he's at. The maids, Joan Tolentino and Emily Sisson, work...
