Most important of all, he is an Arab nationalist who understands that young nations can cooperate with the West without jeopardizing either pride or independence. He scorns the xenophobic raving against the Western "imperialists'' that inflames Middle East relationships. Liberal Frenchmen have called him "our final card in North Africa"-though the fact of the matter is that if the French do not make an end to the bloody war in adjoining Algeria, none of their cards will be worth much. The U.S.'s interest is direct: it has a naval air station and four...
...pursues her from New York to London with flowers and favors, and, above all, by masterfully playing on her sense of pity-for his pride is so constituted that he can grovel to attain his ends. It is possibly the first time in fiction that a thoroughly unprepossessing man gets a woman to bed by crying a few well-timed tears.

...Sullivan plays the vile Moor, Aaron, with stunning force. Pride and pure villainy radiate from his posture and face, and his voice grasps Shakesperean lines with brilliant skill. James Matisoff, playing the Emperor is impressively curt, hoarse, and pouting. Michael Sugarman makes a most fitting brother to the emperor, but Abigail Sugarman is not always at ease in the crucial role of the emperor's vengeful wife. Her face and voice do outstanding work for her difficult part, but her gestures and postures float detachedly or rigidly. As Lavinia, daughter to Titus, Susan Howe is intense and haunting. After...
