...later want to have the witness indicted. Vincent knew neither of these things, and all three witnesses were released from further testimony. On the other hand, a man who was subpoenaed in Los Angeles last June--Anthony Russo, who worked with Ellsberg at Rand--was clearly thought to possess valuable information, though he was not viewed as a prospective indictee. After refusing to testify even after receiving immunity, he was imprisoned and remains in jail today...

Our South Vietnamese allies presumably have agents on the ground in North Viet Nam. Yet the enemy has repeatedly surprised...
Pinter is not out to anatomize nostalgia or even to strip it naked, but to show how people use memories as weapons. The woman visitor and the husband vie with each other to possess the wife by possessing her past. In the process they ruthlessly select and reshape "old times," casting each other in roles to suit their own purposes. Did the woman or the husband introduce the wife to the movie Odd Man Out! Did the husband once meet the woman in a pub and go to a party with her where he gazed up her skirt? The answers...
