Jane Greenwood's costumes suit the time and place nicely. Maggie even puts on dress stockings with seams, which are all but impossible to find in these days of seamless hose. The lines require, however, that Brick wear a pair of white silk pajamas; what he wears sure isn't silk...

During the Korean conflict, Norris operated the largest single plant producing cartridge cases for the U.N. forces, and the increased U.S. involvement in Viet Nam caused...
