The wall fell. The astonishing spectacle was global theater?the images caromed off television satellites to viewers around the world. In a wash of klieg lights, the Egyptian who had hurled his armies across the Suez Canal in 1973 stood at attention next to the old Irgun guerrilla whose name has been a dark legend to Palestinian Arabs for 30 years...

Pastor Peterson persuaded premiere Sculptress Louise Nevelson, a Russian Jew, to design the interior of a small chapel, for which she made five white-on-white wood sculptures and a white-and-gold Nevelsonian crucifix...
Playwright Tally's approach is chronological and documentary, but he never gets icebound by his research. A back cloth of ghostly white covers the entire rear wall, and the floor has a bleak, blinding pallor. The sled carrying supplies and scientific instruments is a gray oblong mass to be pushed and pulled by the men like a cursed rock of Sisyphus...
