...search that produced such startling "results began routinely enough when investigators of the New Mexico Organized Crime Strike Force, a special state investigative unit, started looking into underworld activities. The allegations that developed were both dismaying and frightening. They involved a college basketball scandal, which was bad enough, but last week TIME learned that the agents also discovered that gamblers had used a computer to do their bookkeeping-and that the computer was owned by Sandia Laboratories, a supposedly supersecret contractor that makes nuclear weapons...

He wants to show us the brute cost of survival, the deep need and sustaining force of human affection in dire adversity and the taxing journey to the root core of one's identity. The play at Manhattan's New Apollo Theater achieves these ends, thanks in part to an arresting performance by Film Actor Gere (Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Yanks). Even greater thanks are due David Dukes for his extraordinarily intuitive portrayal of Horst, a man rounded up by the state for having signed a petition demanding rights...
