...While these players seem increasingly drawn together on big issues, there are still little things that give them their individuality. Clinton likes to schmooze with the crowds, which produces his famed tardiness and brings a benign impatience to the always punctual Bushes.

(In his closing comments for the Mer-cury?s radio version of "Around the World in Eighty Days," Welles sheepishly or puckishly describes himself as "one of the least punctual of mortals ... who can?t read time tables, wind watches or get out of bed.") In "Theatre of the Imagination," an engrossing radio tribute on the 50th anniversary of the Mercury ra-dio program, Richard Wilson says he can?t remember a Mercury play that opened on schedule.
