NEW YORK - Sheep on the
Runway is a long inconsequen-
tial piece about which it is dif-
ficult to find much to say. Prob-
ably its most alluring feature is
that it w a s written by Art
Buchwald who is reputed - at
least by the New Yorker maga-
zine - to be an alias for Wal-
ter Lippman who, it is said, as-
sumes the alias so as to let off
'the steam which his formidable
reputation as a columnist will
not permit him to let off. Pur-
portedly, "Art" is for one of
Lippman's major interest and
"Buchwald" is for t h e beech
tree under which he used to sit
in the Harvard Yard.\
However, the program notes
give a real-sounding thumbnail
biography of Buchwald's life,
ending with a tongue-in-cheek
which could as easily' apply to
a real Buchwald as to Lippman:
"After Vice-President Agnew's
criticism of the press, Mr. Buch-
wald told reporters he was
ashamed of whathe had writ-
ten in the past and from now
on he was going to trey harder;"
Sheep on the Runway is about
an American operation that gets
going in an obscure and imag-
inary kingdom called Nona-
mura, somewhere in the Hima-
layas. An. ambassador appoint-
ed by Nixon presides over the
place keeping things dull until
he is visited by a hawkish col-
umnist called - significantly-
Mayflower, who comes a-tour-
ing Southeast Asia.' Mayflower
avows an ability "to see threats
where, nobody's seen threats."
DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN
Since absolutely nothing is
going on in Nonamura, he de-
duces that there is a well-laid
but extremely covert Communist
plot in the making. Before he
is through the fat and pleasant
local monarch has been deposed,
so has his- military successor,
and a Communist is in office -
the Communist's "man," how-
ever, is really an agent for the,
CIA, and so-round robin.
All these upheavals get less
funny as one succeeds the oth-
er, and Buchwald/Lippman's
steady fusillade of satirical
cracks undergo a similar dimi-
nuendo. One of the subtler as-
pects of the comedy is a pair
of photographs hanging in the
ambassadorial drawing room -
one of Nixon and one of Agnew
(Nixnew)- that are crooked at
the beginning of each act, al-
though they have just been
straightened in the act before.
Mr. Buchwald's targets also
include an economist from MIT
who snaps about GNP's a n d
traising their standard of liv-
ing," an Army general who ped-
dles deadly weapons exactly as
if he were selling literal hard-
ware, and a Radcliffe girl who
leads a demonstration for equal
rights for women in a country
where, as its pacific monarch
,says weepingly, "we don't even
have equal rights for men."
In Nonamura sheep-raising
is a major industry, and when
the U.S. general zeroes down in
a private plane to- land there,
he is incensed to find, of all
things, sheep on the runway.
Thence the title of the play and
its "point."

poetry and King's own speeches.
His speeches are also used as
commentary. In one section, po-
lice in Birmingham, Ala., a r e

with hoses and dogs, while King
is heard saying: . . . "We will
match your capacity to inflict
suffering with our capacity to
endure suffering. We will meet
your physical force with s o u I
force. We will not hate you, and
yet we cannot in all good con-
science obey your evil laws.
"Do t6 us what you will.
Threaten our children and we
will still love you_ .
