...other principals are somewhat less polished. To Patience Joan Corbett brought a voice that Miss Russell would categorize as "English--pleasant, pure, and utterly sexless." The stock part of the yearning tenor Gilbert has split into two roles, a comic duke and a second poet--this one Swinburne. (One of the chief technical flaws of Patience is W.S.G.'s halfhearted attempts to tinker with a successful and standard formula; the only result is a fragmentation of the familiar.) As the duke, Stephen A. Barre has a few good gestures and not much of a voice. The voice of the "Idyllic...
...their drinking and washing water. Some oil refinery towns pay as much as $2 per 1,000 gal. ($650 per acre-foot) for distilled sea water, and a cut in the price would bring more desalting installations. But cities in well-watered regions are better off. New York pipes pure and plentiful water from the Catskill Mountains 70 miles away for 10? per 1,000 gal.-less than two-fifths the lowest possible cost of freshened sea water.

...WALLS OF HEAVEN, by Robert McLaughlin (381 pp.; Simon & Schuster; $4.95), is set in Phrygia, a small phantom country in the Middle East that is startlingly like Lebanon. For Novelist McLaughlin (The Notion of Sin), the resemblance is pure convenience. What interests him is his own proposition that today only the world's small countries produce the "hero-leaders" in the classic mold. In Phrygia, passions are still politics, feuds are more important than primaries, and the bitterness of centuries can clash in the exchange of a glance...
