...other information about the Tuesday press conference was available yesterday. Both NEA and ART officials were markedly excited about the hush-hush event, which they termed the country's most important theater-linked development of the year...
...hush fell over the ornate 19th century French Senate chamber as Charles Pasqua, Senate whip for the neo-Gaullist Rally for the Republic party, stepped up to the rostrum. Shaking one fist in the air and pointing his other hand accusingly at the government's front bench, Pasqua launched into one of the strongest attacks yet against President Francois Mitterrand's four-year-old Socialist government. "If it is proved that the French secret services are | implicated in this affair," he proclaimed, "then the responsibility could not be sought anywhere except at the level of the Premier...
...mementos and messages, much as Jews leave notes for God in the cracks of Jerusalem's Western Wall. Around the statue, people talk louder and breathe easier, snap vacation photos unselfconsciously, eat Eskimo Pies and Fritos.

A chilly, officious "civil servant" (Patrick McGoohan) arrives at the Jacksons' home and bullies them into permitting his unnamed, hush-hush government agency to install surveillance agents in the upstairs front bedroom. The targets of this scrutiny turn out to be the Krogers: they have fabricated their personal histories, and are suspected to be part of a Soviet spy ring. But Pack of Lies, a West End hit now on Broadway, is only secondarily about espionage. As in his play and film Stevie, a small masterpiece that starred Glenda Jackson, Whitemore is more interested...
