...foretaste of the meal, the confrontation will be cold, costly and interminable. After all the enticing tidbits set out by both sides, Washington and Hanoi could not agree last week on a venue for the menu, or even accept that the other side had any real appetite for preliminary talks aimed at ending the Viet...
United in Hatred. South Korea's second line of defense-and the real thorn in North Korea's side-is the continued strength of its economy. Despite the disruptions of war, the South Korean economy continues to grow at a rate of 12% a year. Foreign investors are flocking into Seoul and the countryside, including Motorola (electronic circuits), IBM (computers), and Fairchild Camera (transistors).

The result unfortunately, was a complete contradiction of the medium. Spectacle was non-existent, and in spite of many moments of real humor, the production was about as uplifting as a grade-school Flag Day presentation. Conductor Brian Davenport and director Warren Goldfarb have resuscitated a period piece with all the respect but none of the imagination it deserves...
