...versatile complex of latticed background panels, designed by Rouben Ter-Arutanian in 1956 and used for the dozen productions since, are gone this summer. Instead, Ter-Arutunian has encased the whole proscenium and stage within a surface of giant potato chips.

Mitchell, who had been keeping in touch with both sides, got together with Vice President Nixon and White House Counsel Gerald Morgan and worked out a reply. Then he called the union, told it what to expect. Ike turned down...
David Hays has designed suitable movable additions to Rouben Ter-Arutunian's flexible basic stage, so that the swiftly changing geographical demands of the text do not inflict between-the-scenes waiting. Tharon Musser's lighting is admirable, particularly the moon-swept night lighting...
