...spring when he expected to be the presidential candidate. But the voters were not amenable. Ky personally backed eleven slates, and all but one of them lost. Thieu promoted two slates, and both lost. Huong promoted two; both lost. Runner-Up Dzu backed five; all lost. Indeed, the six triumphant slates look something like a political scientist's dream of incipient democracy come true: two are likely to support the Thieu government, two are in stout opposition, and two are independent...

Adagala moves with Stoic strength and speaks a measured rage from behind a white mask of makeup. Deitch's eventually triumphant vitality is less restrained. His eyes grip the audience even with his head hanging upside down off the edge of a table...
