...Your cover story on Greece [April 28] is as ludicrous as the present military regime in Athens, which thinks it can save Greece by banning miniskirts.

We can detect little going on in his mind, save reflex action, but we are nonetheless forced into the same chair in which he sits, to consider the same events with the same condescending ambivalence. In the fourth act, when the uprising is over and The Boss at last permits himself to respond -- to its "defeat," as he says -- a full...
