...those laws is surprise. Unless the playwright indulges in revisionist history, the element of surprise is missing. Rolf Hockhuth's argument in The Deputy that Pope Pius XII bore a greater responsibility than Hitler for the deaths of 6 million Jews was distinctly surprising, and while it failed to convince, it certainly contributed to the success of the play.

Schroeder barely scratches the surface of what Amin really is and what Amin's rule in Uganda is all about. Sacrificing serious analysis for attempts at farce...
...1940s, when the United States was frantically racing against Hitler to develop the atomic bomb, there was no time to discuss the relative merits of nuclear power. The current situation is far different--there is time to discuss and evaluate. Harvard could even have asked the federal government to establish an agency for research, or set up debates on a national level. But instead the University will go ahead and build without ever once having its policy-makers think deeply about the long-term consequences...
