...halt the Katangese rebel invasion of Zaire's Shaba region. In his congressional appearance, Vance blamed the press Is for "overblown" concern with the issue-even though it was the Administration, and especially Carter, that had done most to fan interest and alarm over Cuba's role. When he delivered his policy address to the Jaycees, Vance did not even mention the subject. Instead, he proposed increasing U.S. "consultations" with Agos-tinho Neto's Marxist Angolan government, and spoke of "working with it in more normal ways."

It is a performance that will be treasured by audiences long after the Festival is dismantled...
...habit of command. When he looks down at his bloodied hands, he resembles an apprehensive boy caught with spilled jam. However, he grows in authority as his kingship dwindles and seems most regal when his deeds are most evil. The cast does good ensemble work, and in the role of Macduff, Stephen Russell displays a riveting stillness of presence and a limpid delivery of the Shakespearean line that mark him for further distinction...
