...Peter Marshall, Richard Todd is just about terrific. Unsparingly he lays on the hard glaze of the relentless public manner, but never so thick that the warmer luster of the man's heart fails to show through. He even succeeds in preaching considerable excerpts from five sermons-one of them lasts a full 8½ minutes-with such charm that the moviegoer hardly realizes he has just been subjected to the equivalent of a month of Sundays...
Smiling, his broad peasant's face edged with long black hair, Mao came forward to shake hands with each member of the Laborite delegation; he inquired courteously after their health, and concerned himself whether or not they were enjoying their visit.

But while a spotty glaze is the easiest thing in the world to obtain, the Temmoku glaze with a deep, dappled gleam is apparently one of the hardest. The secret of making it has been lost for about 750 years. Experimenting over the past few months with a variety of natural clays...
