With a top speed of under 600 m.p.h. (v. 1,800 m.p.h. for the F-lll), the stubby, single-seat craft cannot even fly all-weather combat missions. What the Corsair does have, however, is almost twice the range (4,000 miles) and twice the bomb capacity (20,000 Ibs.) of any light attack jet that is currently in the U.S. arsenal...

...folks," and he knows on which side his cornbread is buttered. He lives alone in a sixroom house in unchic Studio City with a swimming pool that, by Hollywood standards, is little more than a glorified bathtub. No dual-exhaust Belchfire sports car for him; his speed is a Rambler station wagon. He leaves the wheeling and dealing to his manager, Dick Linke, a Hollywood slicker who limits Nabors to a weekly allowance of $75, pours the rest of his money into California real estate.

But where Beckett's dialogue almost expires in pauses of resignation, Stoppard's lines pant with inner panic. Delivered with comic ardor at machine-gun speed, R. and G.'s interchanges combine mental verve with spiritual desolation. It is as if the quiz kids of Wittenberg U. found themselves desperate at flunking in life. R.: What's the matter with you today? G.: When? R.: What? G.: Are you deaf? R.: Am I dead...

...introduction concluded, the actors discover a store of kinetic energy which allows them to dash through the second act at twice the proper speed. The beggar's dance is frolicsome when it should be ferocious; the possession of the bride by the dybbuk is dispatched before the full terror of the assault can be developed. Marilyn Pitzele as Leye, the bride, manages to prove herself a fine actress amid the swirl.
