...Secrets. Antonin Liehm, the bubbly editor of the journal Literárni Listy, speaks of the atmosphere as "a lovely dream from which we never want to wake." The dream, however, does have its limitations. Most of them are the result of the Dubček regime's fear of going too far too fast and perhaps allowing the reforms to get out of hand. Though the government has formally abolished censorship, for example, it asks editors not to write about some 12,000 items on a list of "state secrets." The list includes such seemingly harmless subjects...
...Roman side, the young courtiers Lentulus (Anthony Mainionis) and Metellus (Michael Parish) are insufficiently differentiated. Ken Parker is an amusingly scared Menagerie Keeper. Rex Everhart, wielding a billy-club, is the Editor in charge of all the gladiators, of whom the near-naked Retiarius (Harold Miller) and armored Secutor (DeVeren Bookwalter) go through their paces commendably, and lend color to the spectacle (an excess of color is provided by Jane Greenwood's costumes for many of the Christians, which are far too gaudy and even psychedelic...

...this case, since there is actually very little known about Turner himself or the rebellion. But since the ultimate sources of characterizations and events in fiction lie deep in the creative unconscious, such arguments, even if historically true, border on irrelevancy. The essayists, led by John Henrik Clarke, an editor of the militant Negro magazine Freedomways, repeat the same points endlessly and separately, but this does not necessarily validate them. Nor does a reprinting of the full text of the original confessions of Nat Turner seem in any way to enhance their position...
