...General Nicholas deBelleville Katzenbach, 43, who played a central role in drafting the Voting Rights Act and was now direct ing the effort to make it work: "We're doing very well." Katzenbach had good reason to feel elated. Normally, congressional bills, like architects' blueprints, take a madden ingly long time to move from drafting board to concrete reality. Not this bill.

I didn't tune in on Arthur Friedman (Peachum) until the last act, and if I saw the play again, I'd probably like...
...play with so little subtlety--as far as I'm concerned so little truth--perhaps the best the minor actors can do is make their characters interesting. But David Dunton, as Sir Hugo Slate, is only conventionally stuffy. And Johanna Madden, as Mary Dean, is more cheaply attractive, more easily written off, than necessary...
