...former U.S. Senator Ralph Yar-borough's fervid, heart-felt speeches. Krueger is a cold fish. At a recent function Krueger was even unable to woo an audience of liberals. After speaking for ten minutes, a lonely voice hollered-out, "Attack Tower some more." But Krueger just didn't seem to have the heart for it, and the liberals left feeling cheated. If he couldn't inspire them, the audience presumed he could at least stir up their anti-Tower juices...

Antony (Alan Howard) and Cleopatra (Glenda Jackson) seem too much like old buddies, rather than old and reck less lovers. Jackson brings overflowing energy to the part. Physically she is mesmerizing. Playing the imperious Queen, she uses broad, almost sculptured arm gestures. A moment later she is running like a girl or jumping dervish-like in tight circles. But there are no pauses or silences here, and finally...
