Dear Mr. Fischer:

Thank you for your letter.

While Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is mainly about the need to rid ourselves of false illusions in order to deal honorably with one another it is also - in a very indirect way - about the failure of the U.S. in living up to the reality demands of a great (or potentially great) nation. We "illusion" ourselves that we are living up to our potential as a great revolutionary society.

However - calling them George and Martha was nothing more than an idea.

Regards,
Edward Albee
