...encounter between visitors from outside city-states (New York, Philadelphia, London, Chicago) and Los Angeles, capital of the palm fringe of Western civilization. In playlet No. 1, two divorced ex-writers get together to discuss dividing the spoils: their 17-year-old daughter. Hannah (Tammy Grimes) has the true verbal grit of New York City and is a senior editor at Newsweek. William (George Grizzard) basks in Cal ifornia as a contented Polo Lounge liz ard. They both shoot from the quip. Al though William is defensive, he has the punchiest line: "New York is not Mecca - it just smells...

...book to see how engaging she can be. If she uses phrases like "And, listen" or "Truly, then" when addressing the reader in the preface, imagine what she was like in this echoing, reflecting space where we spoke. Despite my reservations, I found myself fighting the sort of verbal duel to which Fallaci loves to challenge others, and what is more, fighting with her own weapons: taking things she has said in different situations and putting them together to formulate her answer, attacking her to get a response, creating for her a persona, making her response fit my questions...
