This two-act drama examines forgiveness amidst three conversions. Rome's aloof and scholarly Chief Rabbi Zolli loses faith following the apparent slaughter of his Polish family during the Holocaust. He receives asylum in the Vatican, where he comes to appreciate Jesus as God suffering for humanity. The Rabbi re-finds faith and converts to Roman Catholicism. This is seen as a betrayal of his spiritual duty and a defection to the age-old enemy. Was his conversion one of conviction or merely gratitude? What does he demand at his baptism that eventually removes a major symbol of discrimination? Like Jonah, in choosing a Christian path to God, the Rabbi is faced with forgiving the slaughtering enemy. How will he meet the challenge? Then the next two conversions are as shocking as the first.
Extract: Food is the most advertised product in the United States, amounting to $8 to $10 billion in 1980 and accounting for between 3 and 4 cents of each food dollar. Food manufacturers have increased their share of advertising and promotion expense while the retailer's share has gone down because of declining use of trading stamps. Promotion by fast food restaurants increased sharply over the past decade. Electronic advertising accounts for about 40 percent of food promotion, while printed and premium promotion account for a fourth each. Couponing, the fastest growing promotion form, accounted for about 11 percent. Between $2 and $4 billion of total food advertising was spent on manufacturers' promotion to the retailer. Advertising and promotion had little impact on increasing total U.S. food consumption, but may have diverted food purchases towards more heavily promoted foods.
The Eaton Woman is not well suited for people who hate gossip. But the play dispels any notion that Washington was once a kinder, gentler city. This historically based two act dramedy is all about morals, adultery, lies, deception, women's roles in Washington Society, the quasi downfall of the Jackson Administration, and the most beautiful woman in Washington history. Others say the most immoral and abrasive. All agree on one thing. She and her husband, the US Secretary of the Army, Jackson biographer, and Tennessee Senator (elected at age 28) created more controversy than any other power couple in Power Washington's political history.
