...only country where that chasm is becoming a nexus. In Italy, Sabina Guzzanti is a self-described buffoon (it has a slightly loftier connotation in Italian) and TV personality. In 2003 she launched a weekly show of political satire called RaiOt - for the network that carried it, RAI Tre, and the English word Riot. The comedy she perpetrated was unexceptional: getting made up as Silvio Berlusconi, Italy?s head of state, and telling jokes about him. But the show was cancelled after one airing, possibly because Berlusconi, a major industrialist, also owns RAI. "One man controls the government, the media...

A Private Buffoon is a Light-Hearted Loon” will probably please most fans of traditional G&S, but audience members should definitely notice the stunning pair of quartets in the second act, “Strange Adventure!” and “When A Wooer Goes A-Wooing.” The former, in particular, showcases the flawless singing of Dana C.

...grown accustomed to his faces: Hitler the buffoon, Hitler the madman, Hitler the monster. Memoirs of a Confidant introduces us to Hitler the misunderstood idealist whose vision of peace and prosperity was distorted by his gangster lieutenants. The author of this benign nonsense was Otto Wagener, a forgotten Nazi who served as storm trooper chief of staff and party economist until his career was derailed by Rival Hermann Gring. According to the book's editor, Yale History Professor Henry Ashby Turner Jr., Wagener was lucky to escape Gring's blood purge of June 30, 1934. He spent...
