...Kudos & Choler Oedipus the King has stood well the test of 2,400 years, of almost every spoken tongue, of a multitude of translators, interpreters and tamperers. When it appeared on TV last week, the test was strictly of TV. Was the narrow, circumscribed cathode world of 17 or 21 inches up to the big challenge of one of the most compelling and most perfect of plays? The answer, delivered lovingly by Omnibus, over ABC, was yes. In an uninterrupted hour and five minutes of clean-plucked verse and smoothly paced action, Producer Robert Saudek and Director Alan Schneider demonstrated...
...other issues, also, Der Spiegel's cockiness has hardened into habitual choler. The magazine is more often against than for; it opposed NATO, European union, West German rearmament.

I do not intend to allow them to be deprived of . . . counsel." He added that he had assurances from members of McCarthy's committee that "they will not permit such conditions...
Good satirists get so hot under the choler that they are always in danger of breaking out in a sentimental sweat-which is why many of them cling tightly to cold ferocity and suppress the feeblest spasms of affection. Satirist Evelyn Waugh has been no exception, but he is one of the few of his kind who has found the conflict between satirical art and goodness of heart a nagging, challenging problem. His ideal is the simple, honest "Christian gentleman"; Waugh cherishes things romantic, patriotic and traditional. Moreover, he is a religious man, whose irrepressible satirical arrogance is at variance...
