Many complaints about the press have less to do with the accuracy or fairness of stories than with the techniques used to get them, which have gone so far as breaking and entering, electronic bugging, impersonation, entrapment. Says Walter Jacobson, anchor of CBS's WBBM-TV in Chicago: "I do not believe there should be any restrictions. I have had to use all sorts of ruses to get information, but I do not feel I have to be honest with public officials who are never honest with us."

What keeps him and Brack from salvaging the play is the same lack of ambition that hampers the other actors. This time, though, the lack comes in the production staff itself. High-schoolish, thrown-together props repeatedly puncture the illusion, starting with the opening complaint of a maiden aunt (Barbara Nathan). "There's no more space here for these flowers," she laments, looking around at the polished, unoccupied tabletops of the Quincy JCR. "So many people have sent flowers already...
