...from the words of other characters then speaking. On occasion, the stage groupings extended across so broad a space that I was forced to choose between watching the speaker and following another character's elaborate pantomime of reaction. Where the pay requires both speed and variation of pace to succeed, the direction has chosen a laggardly tempo with ripe interludes of music or silence dividing scenes from their successors. Finally, where the text asks faith from its producers, Mr. McBain's cutting does some minor but significant violence to the words. Not only is Balthasar's lyric on inconstancy omitted...
This structural distortion must be eliminated, and the ABM seems like the best place to being.

For a time, it seemed as if the tall, soft-spoken Slovak might succeed. Channeling a groundswell of discontent among both intellectuals and workers against the Stalinist regime of President and Party Boss Antonin Novotny, Dubček in early 1968 managed to overthrow the old order and institute the most far-ranging reforms and freedoms that had ever been attempted in a Communist country...
