...President for the most part has adhered to his strategy of avoiding congressional fights that either promise little chance of victory or encourage Democratic retaliation on other issues. Only his anti-ballistic missile decision has stimulated deep controversy, and on that subject he faced trouble no matter which direction he took. Rather than expend energies and political capital on brawls with Congress, Nixon is hoarding his resources. It does not make for a dynamic posture. It leaves him open to charges such as Hubert Humphrey's last week, that the President has failed "to grasp the urgency of present...

He read Lermontov's book long ago. And why this particular choice for the subject of his play? "It's good story." Shea already has another play planned, the story of Anton Mesmer. In it, the spiritualist will appear as Jesus in another play-within-the-play...
