...preponderance of political and military power, the national habit of debating issues in a rather fundamentalist way, and the quick fluctuations of mood that characterize American life have made it difficult for American policy formulators and leaders of opinion to be patient with smaller and weaker nations and to appreciate their problems. Jawaharlal Nehru once said to Adlai Stevenson: "There is no difficulty in choosing between right and wrong if the question appears in that sense. It does not always appear clearly in that way. Between white and black there are many shades of gray." Perhaps noticing grays comes easier...

Says Lange: "I got very close with the guys who were working the hand...
...show evolves in play-within-a-play fashion from an opening square dance, and the book, lyrics, music and choreography mesh delightfully to create the mood of innocent bawdry and rustic high jinks. A handsome highwayman, Jamie Lockhart (Barrie Bostwick), wrests a rich plantation owner's purse from some of his robber competitors and restores it to him. The grateful recipient (Stephen Vinovich) invites Jamie home to meet his daughter Rosamund...
