Unless he can fool Theopropides into believing that the money has vanished for perfectly valid reasons, he can look forward to a crucifixion in his near future. The bulk of the play consists of his various attempts to fool Theopropides, who makes a wonderfully gullible victim until he is forced to face the truth...

Said Don Caterino, a third-generation steelworker: "If we cave in, workers at other mills will get buried...
...Stefanie Powers and Sam Shepard, are mounting up as well. Danger is little deterrent. In Hawaii a month ago, a player was killed in a mishap involving Alex Cord of TV's Airwolf, but the actor remains hooked. "Once you have the spell cast over you, you become the slave of a grand passion that lasts forever," says Cord reverently. "It encompasses different skills. You have to be able to ride like a Comanche and think like a chess player...
