...jury in Loudoun County, Va., indicted 16 supporters and five groups affiliated with LaRouche, a perennial presidential candidate who lives on an estate in the county. Within hours, police teams had arrested 13 people on charges of selling unregistered securities. According to the prosecution, the groups persuaded people to lend money to the LaRouche cause by offering interest rates as high as 20%, and many of the loans were never repaid.

But it is equally possible that the lack of success has to do with two years of a grossly unbalanced arms race between the contras and the Sandinistas.

Gurney Jr., whose works (The Dining Room, The Perfect Party) are often short on incident but long on sly allusion and will-o'-the-wisp charm, once again slipping away from consummation of a plot? Beneath the winsome comedy, Gurney is playing with the Whitmanesque notion that each man contains multitudes. When the two Sues contemplate a nude sketch of the boy -- all that lingers from the maybe affair -- what they term "very good" is not just his lithe body or their rendering...
