...Hinckley jury plainly did that. Unlike many celebrated murder trials, a not-guilty finding appealed to no constituency. There were none of the Southern racists who might have applauded the acquittal of James Earl Ray, none of the Rhode Island jet setters who would have loved to see Claus von Bulow go free...
Henry IV, Part 1, has one huge epicenter, that Santa Claus of roguery, Sir John Falstaff. The old knight is as nimble of wit as his belly is full of sack, a braggart, a liar, a thief, a cynic and a coward, but with all that an irresistibly endearing tub of bubbling jollity.
