...back up quickly to the previous number, Private Conversation, and surrender to the pulse of a Saturday-night bar band. Maybe you don't dare face "the moral of this story," which is "to look at what you've been through/ And see what you've become." Not to sweat; just follow the Gospel According to Lyle: "Boy, pick up that fiddle,/ Ooh and play that steel guitar,/ Ooh and find your- self a lady,/ Ooh and dance right where you are."

The stage is a canvas of convulsive emotions and pristine images of four tortured refugees from the pestilence. Only a 12-year-old girl promises spiritual absolution; as an older woman says, "The breath of a child has passed through the lungs of an angel." Wallace...
