...Beyond that, almost everything about the small, jug-eared infantryman-from his motivations to what his life in the North was like-remained an enigma. Was the young man nicknamed "Super" back in his hometown of Rich Square, North Carolina, really an unrepentant traitor, as the U.S. Army charged? Accusations that he had made several broadcasts across the DMZ urging others in his unit to join him in the North-not to mention his roles in a number of 1980s propaganda films as a Yankee imperialist devil-seemed to suggest that he was.

...humor magazine of a decade rich in them. S.J. Perelman, a month and a day older, was there at the same time, and the two men have similar profiles. Both were Ivy Leaguers who had edited their college humor publications (Perelman's, at Brown, was the Brown Jug); both made their names first as cartoonists at Judge and another popular gag mag, Life (pre-Luce); both branched out to movie work and books.

...dialogue--and his songs too--while another actor, perched at the edge of the stage, supplies his voice. His drunken Pap is actually two scraggly, bearded actors, one hearing and one deaf, who play off each other in clever ways (when one takes a swig from a jug of moonshine, the other wipes his mouth). The rest of the cast of Big River, a Broadway revival of the 1985 Tony-winning musical based on Mark Twain's novel, is a mix of deaf and hearing actors--the most ambitious attempt yet to bring deaf actors into a mainstream Broadway show...
