...describe them. The women is in a place that the man feels makes her open for some sort of attack (the man shouting obscene comments at the woman in the street would not behave the same way, for example, were she a clerk in a store or his family physician). And the women refuses to believe that this behavior is threatening to her, or refuses to make a scene...
...this boy done this horrendous thing? The structure of the play is like that of a trial in which the witness and culprit, Alan Strang (Peter Firth), is coaxed, tricked and thundered at by a prosecuting psychiatrist, Martin Dysart (Anthony Hopkins).

Ford joked that his wife was faring much better in her spacious suite than he had two years before when he came to the hospital to have doctors mend an old football injury to his knee...
Ronald Ziegler conducted a noninformative press conference: every word on Nixon's hospitalization, down to what he was eating (hospital fare, except for some wheat germ from San Clemente), had to be approved by the patient. His physician, Dr. John Lungren, seemed to delight in being obscure and evasive. After announcing that a blood clot had been discovered in Nixon's right lung, Lungren said that the ex-President's condition was "potentially dangerous but not critical at this time." But he flatly refused to speculate on how long the recuperation would take...
