...Austrians believe there is little chance that the disease will spread to the famed troupe in Vienna since all contact with Piber has been cut off. Although the epidemic will reduce the number of Lipizzaners to be trained for show in future years, it is unlikely to threaten the group's existence. The remaining horses at the stud farm have been quarantined, and breeding plans have not been altered. And at Lipizzaner farms elsewhere in Europe, there is no sign, so far, of herpes...

Against Michael Anania's stark, hospital-green set. Montgomery delivers Jackson's graphic descriptions of horrific war scenes in a voice which goes flat whenever his emotions threaten to take over. His face becomes an artistic canvas, simultaneously evoking the moral desolation of a Hopper cityscape and the pain of a Munch woodcut. His continual taking of breathmints suggests that nothing can serve as a palliative for getting the horrible taste out of his heart and soul...
