There was another mild embarrassment for both Kissinger and Rabin last week when the Chicago Sun-Times printed excerpts from a forthcoming book by Israeli Journalist Matti Golan-a nonpracticing lawyer who has served seven years as diplomatic correspondent for the Hebrew-language daily Ha'aretz. The book, tentatively titled From Confrontation to Disengagement, purportedly draws on Kissinger's private conversations with newsmen and on secret minutes of his meeting with Israeli leaders.

Tenneco has already agreed to an E.L.F. demand for $3 million in ransom, but the Ethiopian government refuses to meet another demand...
...costumes are so elaborate as to be distracting. Charles Weinstein, as Matti the iron founder, provokes laughter from the audience on his first entrance purely because of his plumed hat and bizarre purple outfit. But we're so busy looking at his clothes that we miss the significance of his lines. The same thing happens later in the play, when Peter Kazaras' strong speech as Pope Urbino is marred by the attention devoted to the progress of his complicated toilette...
