Coward is a word wizard, but his subtlest gift is inflection, and he was master of the pause before Pinter was born. This sometimes defeats actors, but not the impeccably polished trio in this show. Roderick Cook, who devised and directed this production, has just the right air of bemused fatigue.

DONALD WEBSTER, MICHAEL JOHNSON and CHRISTOPHER STOWELL are former U.S. trade officials who left the Nixon Administration last fall to form Webster, Johnson and Stowell, Inc., Washington-based brokers of trade deals between U.S. companies and Communist state-owned enterprises.

One two-year-old boy who had been playing with a balloon was found unconscious; hospital personnel who managed to restore his breathing found the balloon in his glottis...
...Aviv's Lod International Airport last May and trying to bargain for the release of 117 imprisoned fedayeen. It was sheer luck that only one passenger was killed when Israeli security men stormed into the plane with guns blazing to end the extortion attempt. Three weeks later, a trio of machine-gun toting Japanese radicals working for the fedayeen killed 26 tourists and wounded 85 inside Lod International Airport...
