...negotiating technique was to meet with each envoy separately. Sometimes the emissaries would come twice a day to his spacious 38th-floor office overlooking the East River. The Secretary-General would make an oral presentation to each on a point or two and then ask for comments. Each representative would then communicate with his home government. When the replies were disappointing, the Secretary-General would look for "some conciliatory U.N. formula." His worst fear, he said, was "the danger of a great military incident in the area.

The irony is quickly apparent: the several women and one man who spend their time in the five and ten in McCarthy, Texas, are spiritual midgets, made small by life and their own tediously limited ambitions. But there is a double irony, invisible perhaps to those onstage: Playwright Ed Graczyk and Director Robert Altaian can also be counted among the Lilliputians, and it would take the talents of a logician to determine who should...
