...contestants in isolation booths. In fact, he gives a smooth, consistent and convincing performance. His only serious lapse is near the close of the first act, where he has a heart-to-heart talk with his son and reminisces about his dead wife. This is hard to pull off, but the writing is so fine that it still emerges as one of the two most memorable scenes in the play.

To pull up T.W.A., Hughes picked an old airman. Californian Thomas climbed into the air as a World War I Navy aviator, bossed the big Foreman & Clark men's clothing chain from 1937 to 1953, was G.O P. national finance chairman until he resigned last week. As Navy Secretary, he sped...
