...flowers and grasses she saw on her walks. The result, never before published, was a delicately assembled chronicle of a year in the Midlands that included the diarist's favorite poems and aphorisms. It is published here in a fine facsimile edition that pleases the mind and the eye...
Once the visit began, television's reporters and commentators did not do a very distinguished job. It was purely as a wide onlooking eye that TV served a magnificent function. It authenticated the improbable events and gave them a rich, subtle reality. The attentive world could see the look on Sadat's mobile face - so dour at rest, then suddenly exploding in his quick laughter; could watch the effect on Begin, the glint in his eye; and could see the Israeli children waving Arab flags.

It may be worth mentioning, however, that Pryor's characterizations have nothing to do with the cool black humor of such modern comics as Bill Cosby and the late Godfrey Cambridge. He plays eye-rolling, foot-shuffling, minstrel-show darkies, with a bit of ghetto fast-mouth thrown in. On the other hand, the audience in which this reviewer sat was 90% black, and everyone seemed to be having a great time...
