...last week informed the NATO Council in Paris that it intended to move 225 F-100 fighter-bombers from France to Britain and West Germany. Reason: the French government would not let the U.S. ship the fighter-bombers' nuclear weapons into France unless the "nucs" were put under French control. A few days later, the F-100s began roaring off their bases at Toul, Etain and Chaumont, landed in new quarters at British and German alternate bases hard by the nuclear weapons, a combination that made NATO strength for the Berlin crisis that much solider...

Another problem with the four sided arena stage is that the audience is brought not only physically but also emotionally very near to the characters. This is well and good when the desired effect is close identification with...
...measure of McCarthy's defeat that, only two years after his death, it takes an effort of the imagination to recall the shifty but haunted eyes, the spurious rhetoric, the rasping voice ("Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman! Point of order!") that could not be halted by the gavel of reason. The allusion to Euripides should not keep one from remembering that, while there was tragedy in the McCarthy era. there was comedy, too. Rovere recalls that Brooks Atkinson once blamed McCarthyism for a bad Broadway season and that a noted rabbi held the Senator's influence responsible for panty...
