...Dajer Cerna, as Dr. Baglioni and Juan, give the most color to their roles. Almost buried under a 17th century cape and stiff collar, Fernandez mixes feisty arrogance with guile and pomp. Dajer (co-director with Chuck Gray) has engaging warmth as the young student and happy romantic. With robust simplicity, he blinds himself to the man-made net that entraps him far from the "green hills and sea foam" of his native Naples. Unfortunately, this makes his realization of the odiousness of Beatriz and the extent of his predicament as sudden as the play is short...
Commencing in 1912, the play first depicts Roosevelt as a robust ex-President enjoying his semi-retirement at Sagamore Hill, the family estate in New York. His random reminiscences of hunting and politicking are interrupted by a visit from three old political allies (all invisible, of course), asking him to enter the race for the Republican presidential nomination against his own handpicked successor, William Howard Taft. Taft has strayed from the "progressive" Rooseveltian principles he once propounded, stoking Teddy's competitive fires for one last, glorious battle.

Indeed, many social critics have long argued that the nation is spinning off an incalculably valuable resource by relegating robust, creative people to senior citizens' ghettos. The graying of America will offer new opportunities for the retired. There is already a crying need in the U.S. for day-care centers and kindergartens where working couples may safely leave their children; they could ideally be -and may have...
...located near the author's house in Ossining, N.Y. Yet his hero remains undeniably Cheeverish. Ezekiel Farragut bears the burden of an old New England family, "the sort of people who claimed to be sustained by tradition, but who were in fact sustained by the much more robust pursuit of a workable improvisation, uninhibited by consistency." Translation: like the House of Lords or the German general staff, the Farraguts knew how to survive...
