...police investigations continued in Italy and Austria, a consensus quickly emerged about the identity of the seven known terrorists, only three of whom survived the airport attacks. The men were apparently agents of Abu Nidal and his Fatah Revolutionary Council, which split in 1974 from Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah organization and in recent years has spent about as much time and energy trying to kill P.L.O. leaders and other Arabs as it has devoted to fighting Israel...

Says one official at the Vatican: "It is valid to withhold assent [privately] in certain circumstances, but it is not valid to teach dissent." Curran protests that he is not alone, characterizing his views as "mainstream" and "accepted by the majority of Catholic theologians today."

He is now most celebrated as a mainstream practitioner of the very drawing-room-comedy formulas that he tried to subvert toward hortatory ends. The plays that work best today are flights of poetry, as in his masterpiece, Heartbreak House; wistful romances, as in Candida; and whimsies about the eternal wars of the sexes, as in You Never...
