...first moment, this Dream shows itself to be more about grim realities and revelatory nightmares. The captive Amazon Queen Hippolyta (Lorraine Toussaint), garbed as a soldier and coiffed with a Grace Jones-style Mohawk, stands mute yet defiant as the guards of Duke Theseus (Gary Reineke) surround her. They tear off her uniform and toss it onto a fire, revealing her torso clad in a confining, seductive undergarment: she is being turned from a woman into a girl. Throughout the play, Hippolyta's fury abates but never completely dies. Ciulei, ever attentive to nuances in the text, points...
...blazer and striped tie, the Government's most ardent alien chaser jumped into a helicopter and rode along as it sent a piercing searchlight across the hills and arroyos south of San Diego.

The play's structure--overlapping reminiscences and flashbacks--suggests the unattainability of objective truth and the aching burden of memory. Frayn does not fault the re viewers. "I know the play rather well," he says, "yet I found...
...Washington reporting the news from official statements, CBS sent camera crews out in the field to picture school closings and factory layoffs. Sauter likes to talk about capturing the big emotional "moments." He chewed his staff out when it failed to show a picture of Nancy Reagan dabbing a tear from her eye at a memorial service for servicemen and -women killed in a plane crash in Gander, Newfoundland. Tears often seem to preoccupy CBS. The camera zeros in on someone in church crying, unable to escape this invasion of privacy. Sauter is a strong believer in "letting emotions exhibit...
