...difficult to imagine how the discouragement could go any deeper than it already has. Congress and the President are not yet as badly stalemated as they were during John F. Kennedy's last days, but they are rapidly approaching that point. The Great Society is sputtering along in low gear because, as one Administration official put it, "the governmental structure has outrun the funds." Rumors of wholesale resignations are making the rounds in Washington in the wake of Robert Mc-Namara's decision to quit the Defense Department.

The actor's chief virtues are as objects rather than performers: Robin Woodard as Sally has an appropriately blank countenance, and a fascinating profile, which Edlestein uses repeatedly, often backlit, to suggest her mysterious vacuity; Hope Wilson as Kate is blessed with straightforward beauty and a rare up-from-under smile; Eric Sherman as John has a face which suggests a different value from every angle, by turns...
