Legislative Record: Partly because of his 1956 book, Profiles in Courage, Kennedy has acquired the luster of a courageous, statesmanlike legislator. Yet in his 14 years in the House and Senate, he has never fathered any major legislation. He worked hard on the Senate labor-reform bill (TIME, Sept. 14), but it got so ground up in the congressional mills that the enacted Landrum-Griffin version did not even carry his name (for which he came to be very thankful...
Only two important shortcomings characterize this production. The first is the total excision of the first scene, which gives the play its title--doubly inexcusable since the text of the play is, except for The Comedy of Errors, the shortest in the entire canon. The second is the lack-luster playing of the king and his companions (save Richard Waring's well-spoken Antonio), of whom Loring Smith's Alonzo and O. Z.

"Onassis has his billions and wants to polish up his tankers, using the name of a great star," explained Meneghini, who after years of silence, now kept delivering some of the best lines of the whole affair. "Perhaps the fault is all mine for deluding myself with hopes of immortal love. I was building a little masterpiece. Then I fell in love with my masterpiece and I married her. I created...
