...time between knife-stabs. And they carefully roll up their shirt sleeves before going through the ritual of bathing their hands in Caesar's blood, and then--in slow succession again--shaking hands with Mark Antony. (This was a wonderful idea on the author's part, and is not found in the three Plutarch biographies that provided most of Shakespeare's material. The Bard may have taken a hint from Plutarch's sketch of Publicola, which contains a reference to a band of youths who murdered a man, tasted his blood and immersed their hands in his entrails...
...amateur. This time we have Kenneth Haigh, who knows what he's doing. He can wither with a glance, and inflate his importance with a long swagger-stick. And he is wise enough not to protract the Letter Scene beyond endurance. Fine as Haigh is though he has not found as many nucances in the character as Philip Kerr did on this came stage...
...earlier decisions giving broad effect to the Fourth Amendment prohibition against "unreasonable searches and seizures." But this year the court upheld Fourth Amendment claims more often than not.

...Boston Opera House was torn down the year after the company was born, and the troupe has been forced to perform in high school gyms and even to share the Orpheum theater with rock groups. When Caldwell managed to purchase the mortgage on the Savoy theater last fall, she found that her problems were only beginning. A once elegant vaudeville house, the Savoy had been divided into twin movie theaters by a concrete wall. Caldwell knocked down the wall and made the hall presentable enough for a spring season, but she will need about $5 million to renovate the theater...
