...return, if briefly, to the more familiar realm of Twilight Zone twists in 'dentity Crisis. Jane (Marjorie Ingall) has a problem. She is a sane person in an insane world. Fortunately, psychotherapy has a cure. Everybody plays insanity soberly and satisfactorily straight in this one.

After Gaddafi's brief TV appearance Wednesday night, demonstrators began chanting "Down, Down, U.S.A.!" in front of the hotel, while others, in a more festive mood, organized a horn-tooting, flag-waving victory procession along the city's + corniche. Libyan radio reports that U.S. pilots had been lynched by furious mobs did not engender affection for Americans...
