...housemaid's scattered cameos and her inevitably painful Irish accent. The play stands by itself, an unblinking testament to all-American dysfunction at the very site, the vacation home, where family togetherness is supposed to be at its best. Fortunately for us, this timeworn standard serves as a steady summit from which innovative actors like Camp, and occasionally Stuhlbarg, can find sure footing, then soar...
Communicating in code--Clinton was called the Governor of California, Yeltsin the Governor of Texas--the Americans sought Morris' help. They had earlier worked together to script Clinton's summit meeting with Yeltsin in mid-April.

LYON, France: Despite coming to the table with disparate economic and political agendas, the Group of Seven nations quickly agreed to band together to fight terrorism on the opening night of its annual economic summit. Specific measures announced by the representatives from the U.S., France, Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada included helping law enforcement authorities to work together by sharing explosive-detection technology across barriers. President Clinton is expected to present more specific proposals in his 40-point plan on Friday. In a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto earlier Thursday, Clinton and Hashimoto agreed to resolve trade...
