...Loeb Experimental Theatre did an excellent job of production. The cast, headed by Peter Rousmaniere, Peter Morin, and John Mercer, all performed well, and occasionally with excellence. The minor flashback characters were good in spite of the brevity of their parts, with Farrell Page becomingly wistful in her short stint as The Banker's Beautiful (but now pregnant) Daughter. All the heroes were first-rate, with Doug Kenny particularly funny as gay Wild Bill. Other physical aspects of the production deserve credit, and certainly the direction can only be hailed as superb.

Business Quadrupled. After a two-year stint with the Army in Panama ("I spent most of my free time digging up pre-Columbian art objects"), Peter arrived back in New York and started searching for a gold-plated piano stool, just as his father had 32 years before.

As Wallace stormed across the land, condemning the Marshall Plan, aid to Greece and Turkey, and U.S. resistance...
...story made clear, had spent a frustrated youth. He told Phillips that he had been "disgusted with left-wing kids in school." He had been turned down by West Point, joined the Army, was sent to paratroop school, rose to the rank of specialist third class and served a stint under General Edwin A. Walker, a "man of destiny." Later he joined one extremist group after another: the American Nazi Party, the National Renaissance Party and the Klan. He was arrested in Washington for defacing a Jewish building, and he served two years in jail in New York for inciting...
