...only five of the twenty scenes, he dominates the work easily. So full and complex is he that he cannot really be contained within the play. He bursts into a larger world of his own, so that we can almost say that the whole is less than the sum of its parts...

At De Gaulle's insistence-since G.E.'s share of the partnership until the money is repaid moves up to 66% rather than the 50% it formerly held-Machines Bull is supposed to pay back the advance, with interest, before...
