...short, The Night Watchman, in 1938. But it took a wartime assignment to bring out the comic fatalist in Jones. With Theodor (Dr. Seuss) Geisel, he hatched the Private Snafu shorts--irreverent sketches of an Army recruit whose laziness and general bad attitude forever threaten to hand victory to Hitler and Tojo. By war's end, Jones was infusing the brisk sauciness of these cartoons into his civilian work...

Did Heisenberg, postulator of the uncertainty principle, attempt to extract information from Bohr? Or did he use the meeting to confess his anguish over helping Hitler? The latter is what the play suggests. But last week Americans got a different version...
...survivor (you can see Solondz grinning). And that although none of their relatives were in the concentration camps, they did escape Germany, and thus the reason that the Livingstons are alive and eating dinner today.
