Unfortunately this hearing does not seem to be shaping into a test case; Miss Buchanan's defense is in something less than the best tradition of the courageous press, and District Attorney Frye's prosecution is less than a paragon of justice. Buchanan is reported as having said that she will appeal the case to stall for time (the appeal should take about a year) and if she is still required to come up with the names at that time, she will be perfectly willing to reveal her sources.

...reality drains out of them. Albee puts the burden of feeling on the language. Still, there is more echolalia than eloquence in the speeches. The cast is a marvel; the play could scarcely survive without these players and the taut direction of Alan Schneider. John Gielgud is the paragon of paragons. His thin but resonant voice invariably astounds one by making an orchestra out of a clarinet, and his speech is kingly...
