...agency uses satellite inspections on other installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Specialists pored over images of Libya's Rabka refinery, comparing every pipe, every cylinder, with known refinery procedures, to show that the Libyans were also trying to produce chemical weapons at the site. In Haiti the agency watches two oil refineries to judge how well the embargo is working. The imagery office is made up entirely of senior-grade CIA officers, and one of them calls it "an all-officer army." This analyst has spent most of his career studying refineries and claims that just...
...younger Ames' interest in spycatching may have been stoked by his father, a pipe-smoking member of the CIA counterintelligence staff created and run by the monomaniacal mole hunter James Jesus Angleton. But Carleton had an undistinguished career tracking communist parties and front groups. After he retired from the agency in the 1960s, few remembered much about him beyond his penchant for taking long naps at his desk. Still, the father, now dead, left one important legacy to the CIA: his son, who in 1962 signed on as a trainee...

The play is punctuated by emotional moments, such as the scene in which Biff exposes Willy's suicidal tendencies. He hits the rubber pipe on the table which Willy has been planning to use to kill himself. Build, BUILD, BUILD! and then SLAM! the rubber tubing is whipped out, banged on the table and a huge silence descends, a moment Engel creates so that the audience's sympathy also has time to build...
...pounce on every heightened emotion. He moves very naturally between reality and the dream sequences, assisted only by a warm light change and electronic music (which, at times, sounds suspiciously like PBS Wildlife Special accompaniment). Reinstein, funny and charismatic, is also more than prepared for moments such as the "pipe" scene. Other times, he expresses hisdisgust for the city environment in such a waythat the audience feels its own surroundings alltoo acutely...
