...further specific inquiries. It did not work well for Kennedy. He spent a full week in a fortress of silence while the reassembled talents of Camelot labored over a text for him. Then he went on national television to take the responsibility of a young woman's death unto himself but also, simultaneously, to leave himself in a state of dazed blamelessness.

Sellon, who wrote last year's Pudding show A Little Knife Music, started A.W.O.L. as a Pudding show and once rejected, put it into independent production.

Ronald Reagan said of Soviet leaders two weeks ago: "The only morality they recognize is what will further their cause, meaning they reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat." The Soviet leadership has been characterized in strong terms before, but was Reagan's statement too sweeping? Reagan did not think so. Said he last week: "They don't subscribe to our sense of morality; they don't believe in an afterlife; they don't believe in a God or a religion. And the only morality they recognize, therefore, is what...
