...This is no cartoon!" says Tony, a stereotypical body building Italian chef, trying to keep others in touch with reality in "Slaw and Order," a student-written lunchroom mystery, continuing performance in the Leverett Old Library this weekend. Reflecting back to "Scooby Doo" days, one remembers the key elements to a good cartoon mystery: clues (slowly revealed, usually by Velma), suspense, a climactic ending and a rockin' Mystery Machine.

These films, forerunners to Toy Story, ingeniously show that things have wills and wits of their own and exist in intimate relation to their human...
Such longueurs flaw the book, but not fatally. Sereny has probably captured Speer's aloof, elusive persona as well as any writer could. She also usefully reminds that Hitler, for all the evil he inflicted, was not a cartoon monster but a man with immense charisma and even some charm. Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth has a rightful place in any library of writings about the Third Reich...
