...marriage of Podkolyossin (Kevin Walker), a civil servant, and Agafya (Pamela Thomas), a merchant's daughter, seems inevitable early in the play. Podkolyossin has been toying with the idea of marriage--and trying the patience of matchmaker Madame Fyolka (Chris Hayes)--for three months when his friend Katcharev (Josh Milton) steps in to settle things once and for all. Kevin Walker is convincing enough as the indecisive and bumbling civil servant to make us pity his future wife--at least, until we see her other suitors, an unambiguously...

Knowing a "core" of knowledge meant knowing a core...

Influential Congressmen are demanding that both Spinney and Margolis testify before them. Asked last week if he would let Spinney appear, Weinberger replied with a flat no. But he may have to yield, particularly since copies of the Air Force generals' report have reached enough Congressmen to ensure a loud debate...
