...protect Federal Bureau of Investigation files on the Alger Hiss-Whittaker Chambers case. Attorney General William Saxbe reversed an earlier decision to disclose and decided instead that FBI techniques and informers would be compromised, even though the case is a quarter-century old. Angered, Smith College Historian Allen Weinstein will now press his claim in court under the act's provision for judicial review. He may not have much luck. Judges have upheld similar bureaucratic refusals when a Congressman sought reports on the My Lai massacre investigation and a Warren Commission critic asked to see tests of the "single...
Nearly all Rosenwald's actors are also excellent, most of them in several different roles, although Tom Yellin, Charles Weinstein, Jomo Schur, Kristen Wiley, and especially Mary Tisco seemed to me to stand out the most.

He graduated with the highest average in his class at Columbia Law School, served as clerk to Federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein in New York and specialized in corruption investigations as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York for a year...
...costumes are so elaborate as to be distracting. Charles Weinstein, as Matti the iron founder, provokes laughter from the audience on his first entrance purely because of his plumed hat and bizarre purple outfit. But we're so busy looking at his clothes that we miss the significance of his lines. The same thing happens later in the play, when Peter Kazaras' strong speech as Pope Urbino is marred by the attention devoted to the progress of his complicated toilette...
