...flood of lance-waving horsemen surge across a meadow; agile warriors skip and pirouette in a whirling of two-handed blades; the defeated topple, with blood bursting between their clenched teeth. The struggle ends in far-off shouting as mists steal down from the mountains to draw a pale blanket over the slain...
Dulles, 67, leaped athletically from the craft, landing ankle-deep in ooze. Presidential Aide Sherman Adams, pale-faced but game, grunted: "Very nice trip." Lifted up from Washington next day, some Cabinet members were less game. Douglas McKay said he had spent the trip trying to estimate what a helicopter costs, concluded that it was "probably too much."

...volley of applause. The setting by Jo Mielziner is a striking thing. Instead of painted scenery, he has used a simple cotton scrim that sets the time at eternity, the place at everywhere. The forestage is filled with what looks like a mighty cubistic boulder on which Joan sits pale and still, like a piteous Prometheus in the midst of her tormentors. The tableau breaks, and the trial, which is the metaphor the action moves in, takes its course. In a matter of moments it is clear that the London fiasco is not to be repeated by Producer Kermit Bloomgarden...
