...Your grandfather left a son on every corner. That's what I like. Men, men; wheat, wheat." Yes; but it must be imposing, and she is as ineffectual as her son (Stephen Gehlbach). The production does not in fact begin to move until the third act, when the Moon (Jere Whiting) completely takes over from the director. "I want no shadows," he intones, "My rays must get in everywhere, even among the dark trunks I want the whisper of gleaming lights, so that this night there will be sweet blood for my cheeks..." It is a revelation. The other characters...
...Byrd's family tree. Week after week, Robert M. Chapin Jr. seeks vivid new pictorial ways to illustrate the news. He has been doing it for 25 years for TIME. Beginning as a one-man operation, Chapin now has a staff of six, including Artists Vincent Puglisi and Jere Donovan, to turn out an average of six to eight maps, charts, drawings and diagrams weekly. A few years back, Walter W. Ristow of the Library of Congress declared that "Chapin maps have established a pattern and style for modern newsmagazine cartography," and referred to Chapin...
...acting, however, rescues the production. Jere Whiting is a superb Zeus; the crafty and malignant god is aware of his limited power over the free, guiltless Orestes, but exploits anyone else willing to fear him.

...play's most endearing virtues--its consistently high level of wit and the fundamental ingenuity of a plot that covers the historical epoch of man twice. Tom Segall as Nathan is a ludicrously, wonderfully pathetic God; Art Roberts (Rex Regis) is indistinguishable from a thousand harried executives. Plantagenet himself (Jere Whiting) seems determined to squeeze the juice from his lines; perpetually overcome by the cleverness of the dialogue he forgets that his significance lies not in his pose but in his machine. The grey hireling of the bureaucracy, the only real example of Wolfson's bitterness, is Erg, and regrettably...
...stationed on Okinawa 1,500 miles from South Viet Nam. Despite the knowledge that they are expendable troops, the spirit of the 503rd men is so high that many were genuinely disappointed that they did not get into action earlier this year during the Laotian crisis. Says Captain Jere Hickman: "We were sharpening our knives. I felt sorry for the enemy." The paratroopers share Okinawa with the rugged 3rd Marine Division, which also would be thrown into a fight in Southeast Asia. "We can go into any landlocked country anywhere," says one 503rd officer. "Every single bit of our equipment...
