...Secretary is striving to hold back the right-wingers from forcing a sale of jet fighters to Taiwan, an action that could unhinge our tender relations with mainland China. Candidate Reagan was a Taiwan booster. President Reagan may see it differently if Haig's entreaties are skillful. On the Middle East, Haig is trying to keep his Government, and others, from plunging recklessly after the Saudi peace plan; even a mild endorsement of that flawed proposal, he feels, would wreck the Camp David process and might damage all prospects for Middle East peace...

Thomas tries to fashion a Victorian Heathcliff--a wrathful and passionate lover--from the bare bones of a ghostly glare and tragic family secret. But rather than a monster, Thomas has created a pathetic...
...balconies--recalls the days when sets were inorganic pegs on which to hang the actors, rather than metaphorical expressions of a production's point of view. But then again, this production has no point of view. Director Peter Coe brings nothing but some undignified nose-rubbing to the tender relationship between Othellow and Desdemona...
