And in most cases, our cover subjects have achieved importance by the good they have done. But there are those who achieve importance by doing evil, and neither the journalist nor the historian can ignore them. Lee Oswald is on TIME'S cover not to be "glorified," but to be examined and judged as a protagonist in a historical event...
...luxury liner, and flashbacks recall their relationship in Auschwitz concentration camp, one as a strong-willed prisoner, the other as a vindictive German guard. There, in an unexpected reversal of the usual atrocity tale, the guard is revealed to be not the master but the victim of the evil power she owns.

Stratford's Richard III is equally unsettling. As Douglas Watson plays him, Richard is monstrously twitchy but uncomplicatedly gleeful, a modern rather than a medieval sicknik, never giving the sense that he really loves evil for its own sake. The company's Much Ado About Nothing, on the other hand, is the best evening for sale at Stratford this summer. Riotous and briskly paced, with leafy sets, garden-party costumes and lighthearted acting, it goes some distance toward being the dish of sherbet that Much Ado should...
