...accented technician of ever-improving death machines who is always ready to sell his services to the highest bidder. The cast delivers the lines as if they were quotations, and even such accomplished performers as Howard Da Silva and Brian Bedford seem a trifle stilted. Christopher Walken, however, breathes radiant innocence into the unknown soldier, and stirs the only honest emotion of the evening...

Howard Nemerov, Elizabeth Jackson Barker, Thomas Redshaw and the magazine's co-editor Timothy Mayo contribute to a very solid straight flush of poets, with no jokers...
