Frustrated at the failure of the Bush Administration to redefine U.S. defense posture in the face of changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Democratic Senator Sam Nunn has delivered a series of speeches on "defense- budget blanks." Chairman of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee, Nunn pointed to a "threat blank" based on a dated U.S. assessment of Soviet military power, a "strategy blank" unfilled by Pentagon planners and, most important, a "program blank" in which requests for tens of billions of dollars in new weapons are unsupported by any rationale.

...composer, director Trevor Nunn and designer Maria Bjornson have tinkered ! in various ways since London, but the main change is in the acting: the people have been made less brittle and more likable. That is in keeping with the cunning naivete of the score. The musical highlights are Love Changes Everything, a ditty as simple and optimistic as a nursery rhyme; Seeing Is Believing, a surge of passion as relentless as teenage infatuation; and a melody almost Viennese in its air of casual resignation, introduced to the lyric "Life goes on, love goes free." Aspects of Love...
