Summary:

The V.I.P's: Elite passengers waiting for London-to-U.S. flights get fogged in, and have to deal with their problems rather than run from them.
The Sandpiper: A repressed minister with a devoted wife must come to terms with his adulterous feelings for a beautiful, free-spirited woman.
Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?: A couple is invited to the home of a professor and his sharp-tongued wife, and are treated to verbal battles by their hosts.
The Comedians: A sardonic white hotel owner watches Haiti sink into barbarism with growing fatalism. Complications include a friendship with a rebel leader, politically "charged" hotel guests, an affair with the wife of a European ambassador, and the manipulations of a conniving British arms dealer.
