Reagan's choice for No. 2 at the State Department, William Clark, is a Republican loyalist from California who worked for Reagan when he was Governor and was eventually elevated by Reagan to the state supreme court. Clark is worried lest his departure from the California court leave a vacancy that Governor Jerry Brown might fill with a liberal jurist, further tipping the court's balance toward the left. For Deputy Treasury Secretary, Reagan's more conservative supporters are urging the appointment of New York Drug Store Magnate Lewis Lehrman, an outspoken proponent of a return...

Jerry, Emma and Robert are as colorless as the gray business suits, black dresses and Burburry raincoats that fill their wardrobes. The stage is equally stark, lest a trinket or painting leak evidence of a character's personality--the stage is even more bare than it was on Broadway: a simple table and chairs replace Jerry's cushy leather study, and the bartender in scene one has vanished altogether. Pinter takes great pains to insure we will...
