...escaped his attention. Now he displays his wit and erudition in an extravagant three-volume work that has no precedent and is not likely to have successors. The Annotated Shakespeare has no restrictions; it suits the actor and the scholar, the general reader and the child. Its pictures are copious but never merely decorative. Some 4,200 illustrations compare ancient productions with those of Laurence Olivier and Marlon Brando. Woodcuts from Holinshed's Chronicles, which Shakespeare ransacked for his plots, jostle with faded maps and new costume designs for the Stratford festivals...
...case raises two compelling−and competing−concerns. In support of Niemi, the California Medical Association cited copious evidence that TV contributes to violence, including a study commissioned by ABC in which 22 of 100 juvenile offenders confessed to having borrowed criminal techniques from television. But some psychologists argue that violent programs provide a vicarious release for aggression. The networks and some First Amendment scholars fear that Niemi's suit, if successful, will drastically undermine constitutional free speech guarantees.

Freudian symbolism gushes from every object close-up: the postcard nudes looking like overripe cherubs, the town philosopher walking his black Great Dane, the chamber pots that our protagonists keep filling with pure water. One bit of this spoof is priceless: after some gorgeous but solemn footage of a French museum, Borowczyk has one of his characters distractedly walk right into the lap of a painted reclining nude...
