...evenly on the whole of his bizarre, passively embraced cosmos and on all its characters. The most conspicuous villains of Enderby are women-womankind, randomly represented by a number of oppressively corporeal seductresses. The tragedy of Enderby's life is the upbringing his stepmother has given him. She has stamped her foster-son with her filthy habits and enforced his life-long retreat to the lavatory. From her come the whole slew of Enderby's neuroticisms, from his fear (cropping up in the author's other books) of lost teeth (according to Freud a fear of castration as punishment...
...Deposition Scene, which is the high point of the play (and was censored for political reasons until 1608), ought to be the supreme example of Richard's artistic management, the culmiation of a life-long series of shows.

The census figures also show that fully 28 per cent of the residents who, in 1960, lived in the projected path had moved there only during the previous...
...almost childlike," belief in democracy. But, while this belief may be consistent with a belief in judicial restraint, it is not consistent with the realities of life. What Professor How calls Frankfurter's "innocent misjudgment" that "his intensities were matched in most other human beings" might be seen by a less sympathetic critic as blatant unrealism--more appropriate to someone who didn't read the newspapers than to a man of life-long political activity...
