...outside world for a day, so that Jackie could enjoy its rubbled splendors alone. At Mykonos, an island with a population of 5,000 and 333 churches, every wall in the capital city, and even the cobblestoned streets, had been given a fresh coat of whitewash. In a tavern in Hydra, Jackie enthusiastically joined a group of natives dancing the Kalamatianos...
Over an early-morning beer in a Los Angeles tavern, bumptious Irish Playwright Brendan (The Hostage) Behan recalled how he told off a Canadian critic during a recent visit to Toronto when he heard the man belittling U.S. space achievements.

But Ted Morris, who directed the play (the program notes modestly proclaim, "The unnatural stiffness of the occasion is Ted Morris's fault"), Yoshi Shimizu, who made "all the sights for sure eyes" (i.e. the set, the costumes, and the props), and Bill Wilder, who composed "the heard melodies" transformed each of the obstacles which nature had put in their way into an advantage...
