Then, just before intermission, a catalytic gale blows in a tousled malcontent called Lovborg (John C. Dewis). He’s brilliant, he’s wry and he’s long been nursing a passion for Hedda. And when he and Hedda butt heads, they touch off a string of events with uniformly tragic consequences...
...portly man who has been suspected of wearing platform shoes and having an unhealthy appetite for movies--and movie stars--can be expected to be the butt of jokes. But North Korea's Dear Leader is no laughing matter. Since his accession to power on the death of his father Kim Il Sung, in 1994, Kim Jong Il has shown that an economic basket case of a state, which at times has been unable to feed its people, and which is brutally authoritarian, can still manage to keep the great powers off balance--so long as it has, or plausibly...

When someone wants to keep a murder quiet, the corpse is fed--despite the cook's silent disgust--to Wu's pigs. (Which, yes, the townsfolk eat.) Even more essential are the Indians or, as they are dehumanizingly and incessantly called, "the godless heathen c__ksucker Sioux." Although it's two weeks after Custer's massacre at Little Bighorn...
