...Fascist. To judge by the uniforms worn at Claudius' court, the usurping king is a tin-pot fascist. Robert Burr plays the role like Dean Martin presiding at a "roast"; Andrea Marcovicci plays Ophelia like a stewardess in search of an Upper East Side singles bar; and if Ruby Dee's Gertrude is capable of loving either Claudius or Hamlet, it will certainly be news to them. Only Larry Gates, doubling as Polonius and the First Gravedigger, emerges from this fiasco with a modicum of merit...
...cycle?to which economists have given such cacophonous names as "stagflation," "slumpflation," "infession" and "inflump." Breaking that inflation-recession cycle is rapidly becoming the major problem, not only of capitalism, but of democracy. Inflationary recession is more likely than anything else to make voters turn to an authoritarian fascist or socialist system that would fix price, production and employment levels by fiat, and permit no argument...
...Portugal in cold war terms as a "communist element" allied with "communist elements from the East." In almost the same breath, Ford presumed to grant on behalf of all Americans in the U.S. "recognition of Spain's significance as a friend and partner." Ford's alliance with Franco's fascist government only speaks for the blindness of his foreign policy to the democratic ideals they pretend to uphold...
...world knows Sir Oswald Mosley best at his worst-as the leader of the Union of British Fascists, who, flanked by black-shirted Biff Boys in the 1930s, praised Mussolini and Hitler and parroted their antiSemitism. But in fact, Mosley, now 78, has mesmerized, enraged and even amused generations of Englishmen, first as a Conservative M.P., then as an Independent Liberal, a Socialist Laborite, a Fascist isolationist and, finally, as a postwar internationalist preaching European unity. As the sixth in a line of Yorkshire baronets, Mosley frequently wore his own black shirt under a Savile Row suit...
...Penny. The Mosley brand of National Socialism never became more than a barnacle on a political system renowned for its tolerance and stability. He was condemned by his peers as a betrayer of his class, not to mention a "Fascist hyena." Mosley had blown any chance for power before he was 40. But as the perennial bad penny of British political life, he keeps turning up at embarrassing moments. Robert Skidelsky's generous biography appears at a time when people everywhere are longing again for order and authority. England is swirling dangerously close to the drain of economic ruin...
