...simply magnify. You are what you are and you can't hide it. Anyway, how much did you know about a candidate when he waved to you from the back of a train?" Using video clips from training sessions with various high-level candidates (Nixon, James Buckley, Robert Wagner), Ailes demonstrated such tricks as bouncing the eyes downward when changing your gaze from one camera to eliminate that startled-fawn look...
...Robin Wagner, working for the first time at Stratford, has designed a fine, economical basic set. The main playing area, which can divide at the center, is raked at a daringly steep angle, but the players seem at home on it. This leads up to a massive wall in the rear, which opens to varying widths to allow the entrance of people or light.

The Germans had a growing war machine and Austrian Nazis in key places of power in the country. Increasingly menaced by Hitler, Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg, who had succeeded Dollfuss, announced on March 9 that a plebiscite, four days later, would decide whether Austria would keep its independence. A day before the vote could take place German troops were all over Austria. On the 14th, Hitler arrived in Vienna, the city's church bells pealing...
