...horn right away to Norm (Jewison) to tell him what a solid job he did, giving the picture life and relevance. You've probably heard he kind of copped from Henry V, using that stunt of an acting company performing the show we're all watching, making it kind of a show inside of a show, if you can dig it. It gave everything an extra dimension. But what really got to me was the way Norm brought all that contemporary political stuff in. I mean, we all know the story's happening in Israel...

Room for Humor. Warren's briefing-room manner differs markedly from Ziegler's. His horn-rimmed glasses and pipe lend a thoughtful air to his comments; he pauses to consider questions before replying and accepts hostile queries without resorting to Ziegler's huffiness. Ziegler's programmed manner leaves little room for humor. Warren is more unbuttoned. Failing to hear a question from NBC Correspondent Richard Valeriani, he quipped: "Richard, will you speak in your on-the-air voice?" When he first began subbing for Ziegler, Warren would open with a crack at his own expense...

...Richardson, an estimable actor back here for the fourth consecutive season, takes a valiant fling at the part. His "sword of heaven" soliloquy is neatly spoken, discreetly underlined by one horn, then a second horn, harp, and flute. But Richardson is most effective in finding humorous aspects in the role, such as when, on donning a monk's disguise, he mimies Friar Peter's rolling of the hands. (Shakespeare had already used the ruler-in-disguise device in Henry V, when the king wanders incognito among his troops just before the Battle of Agincourt...

...Tenderness" may be Simon's answer to Otis's "Try a Little Tenderness." Simon can't match Otis's power, so his approach is plaintive. The guitar obbligatos are from the era of the big band vocal. Allen Toussaint's horn arrangement echoes that era as well, particularly in a soft, mixed down solo saxophone. Paul Griffin's piano tickles with the right hand, fills chords and notes with the left. And the Dixie Hummingbirds are something else. Their oooh's are acapella oriented, rough and husky. The song finishes strongly, showcases them simultaneously, and the highpoint is a single...
