It is because Miss Garson's satire renders her targets immune to further burlesque by grasping--just once, and fleetingly--all the obvious uglinesses of American politics without giving a sweet damn for what they point to. If her wry defloration of ideology is pale beside Brecht's, her portrayal of convention-hall mores does not begin to approach Mencken's Murray & Co. have slightly humanized a drastically inhumane play by virtue of taste and skillful joining, but the blood-spoor...
