...Philadelphia, John Cardinal Krol reacted happily to the news (see Fo-RUM). This week in Los Angeles a group called Mobilization for the Unnamed was to rally in support of the Edelin conviction outside the California Medical Association Center. In general, the jubilation was a softer echo of the emotional outpouring that occurred in January on the second anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling, when a crowd estimated at 25,000 massed on the Capitol steps in Washington to protest what they called "a day of infamy."

But Brewster plays this dreamy, solipsistic rejuvenation as a social instinct, a feeling of warmth toward the others, rather than within herself. To get from this point to her turnabout at the climax of the play requires a rapid and somewhat abrupt transition...
...disputes within his own Administration about what position the U.S. should take on arms control. The real danger to a fair agreement is not a Nixon sellout but the fact that the Administration might make a mistake because of poor preparation. The Pentagon is at odds with the softer position of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and Kissinger is trying to reconcile them...
