Okinawa is the one place where the U.S. finds itself embarrassingly thrust back into the colonial business. Once there, it has tried to make Okinawa both a political showcase and a military base. As a showcase, it must be democratic; as a military base, it must be secure. Often, as the British have learned in a more difficult situation on Cyprus, the two can be at odds...
...midst of his own designs and the "apparently sympathetic attention" he gives to his associates. Paul Goodman's Bathers at Westover Pond less successfully describes the frightful misunderstandings of a married couple.

...unsparing levy on his own darkened past, may constitute his most substantial legacy to the American stage. Reaching Broadway 16 years after it was finished and three years after his death, this relentless chronicle of O'Neill's riven and tormented family has the imperious thrust of unblushing theater mated to unsoftened truth. It also achieves the illumination born of compulsive groping, prodding and clawing in dark places. In it O'Neill has managed to apply a famous phrase of Addison's-to ride in the whirlwind yet direct the storm...
