...attempting to ingratiate himself with Chairman Mao by telling a few Japanese jokes, the next he's justifying his Vietnam policy by citing the example of a war widow and flag-saluting son and saying, "I only do it to humor these people."

"While watching the play," Psychiatrist George Vaillant told the audience, "imagine yourself an intern several years from now. George would enter the hospital yellow with jaundice and with cirrhosis of the liver, the results of his alcoholism. Martha would come in for her third operation for adhesions resulting from stab wounds." During the discussion, Vaillant prompted the students and actors with questions.
