...ROOM and A SLIGHT ACHE inject Harold Pinter's special menace-and-dread serum directly into a playgoer's veins...
Losing a Rival. Why did the Russians do it? One guess: unable to endure Schwirkmann's electronic guile any longer, Russia's secret police hoped, by delaying his departure from Moscow, to force the West German's removal to a Russian hospital, where perhaps with truth serum he could be induced to spill his technical secrets.

Human-to-Human Serum. Dr. Tierkel also had good news for people who may be bitten by suspected rabid animals around the head and neck-from which the virus may reach the central nervous system before abdominal injections have time to build up protective antibody.

The stars, who actually loathe each other, make passes at the writer, and Woodward and Newman show a sly comic flair for kidding the erotic and the perverse. But, taken seriously, the dream sequences are too obscure for an analyst, but an editor might have helped...
