...morning of Dec. 16, we were receiving reliable reports that the Soviets were pressing New Delhi to accept the territorial status quo in the West, including in Kashmir. Later that day, Mrs. Gandhi offered an unconditional cease-fire in the West. There is no doubt in my mind that it was a reluctant decision resulting from Soviet pressure, which in turn grew out of American insistence. The crisis was over. We had avoided the worst-which is sometimes the maximum statesmen can achieve...
...women who have come to mania from all over the map. After a harrowing indoctrination, "Dads," as the kids call him, finds out that they have blown his cover.

All the young...
...News. He operated, and continues to operate, a consumer hotline, investigating complainsts called in by viewers. One such complaint was the existence of the Chicken Ranch. Mr. Zindler is famous for his incredibly theatrical news reports, and he became extremely unpopular with the residents of Lagrange. With this in mind, I find it difficult to understand how Mr. Grafstein can label Melvin P. Thorpe an "overworked stereotype." Further, the comparison of Thorpe to Dan Rather or the Rev. Billy Sol Hargas only betrays the reviewer's ignorance of these facts. The strength of this musical lies in the fact that...
