...Dulles had been at his desk. The U.S., said Press Officer Lincoln White, is still awaiting a "reasoned reply" to its note suggesting a foreign ministers' conference. And in a display of calm decision in action, Washington ordered a Navy picket boat off Newfoundland to board and search a Soviet trawler suspected of damaging U.S. transatlantic cables on the ocean floor (see Foreign Relations...
...Visit and search," a peacetime euphemism for boarding alien vessels, is an old, embattled subject in international law. Britain boarded U.S. ships before the War of 1812, and the U.S. boarded vessels at various times thereafter: during the Civil War, in Prohibition days.

Farce tends to make Harvard actors foresake the search for truth in favor of mugging and running around, and none of these three productions is exempt from this tendency. As indicated above, there are compensations (Jane Fishburne's imaginative costumes comprise another.) But whoever exhumed these scripts deserves a citation for industry very far beyond the call of duty. There is something exhilarating about a triumph over a script that has outlived its audience-appeal, but there is something even more exhilarating about a successful collaboration with a good...
