...probably too late for the 1970 holiday season, but other treats could lie in store if leaders elsewhere were to pick up the idea: The Compleat Kosygin, The Long-Playing U Thant, Castro to Cut Cane By, Thieu for Tea, The Little Red Album of Chairman Mao's Thoughts, The Splendacious Sciolisms of Spiro (in stereo...

...which Latin Americans themselves approve radical approaches, despite such egregious failures as Castro's Cuba." Apparently, what is little realized by TIME are the reasons for this approval.

As two inmates in the twilight of sanity and senility, Gielgud and Richardson are living textbooks of stagecraft, distilling decades of experience into the flourish of a cane, the fumbling of a card trick, the crack of a voice. Their reading of a passage like the following raises tiny lyrical fragments to a level of Mozartean serenity...

...ushers began to urge the cured into the aisles, up to the stage. The woman in white encourages them to try their new-found health: an old man in shirtsleeves, claiming to be cured of a spinal injury, tosses his cane away and runs across the stage. A seven-year-old boy, with his mother, says that he can hear in a seemingly deaf ear for the first time since he was three. "Did you know Jesus was going to open your ear?" asks Kathryn. "Yes," answers the boy, "because He loves me." Kathryn folds him in her arms. "When...
