...carefully thought out but disappointing. The play is one of Shakespeare's most vivid, bloody and craftily psychological works. So was Verdi's operatic treatment when he finally finished revising it 18 years after its 1847 premiėre. Strehler's stylized production is bloodless and static; lethal emotion is indicated by second-rate symbols. Once they seize the throne, Macbeth and his lady trail around in long, heavy robes apparently intended to represent both royalty and their guilty burden. But the onlooker simply worries about whether, in their ceaseless circling, one may trip over the other...
...plan to purchase, in effect, white acceptance of an early peaceful transition to black rule. Still in the drafting stage, the scheme might seek to commit Britain, other members of the Common Market, the U.S. and states neighboring on Rhodesia legally, financially and even militarily to guarantee a bloodless solution to the Rhodesian problem.

Their bodies were found four days later in an abandoned car, together with the corpses of two other Uruguayans who had earlier been involved with the Tupamaro guerrillas...
...saying, "Remember, I don't want to see any mention of Chile." On March 30, General Jorge Videla, the head of the ruling military junta, announced on national television that his new regime was deeply committed to human rights, based on "profound Christian convictions." The smooth and relatively bloodless coup followed by constant reassurances stemmed from a well-defined plan to avoid comparison with the Chilean situation at all costs...
