...limits: ethnic and racial jokes, anything remotely smutty. While Reagan can repeat punch lines about his age, it would be unseemly for a Democrat to joke about the President's advanced years. Topicality is crucial. For instance, Rollings' allusion to Carter's seven-year-old, lust-in-my-heart Playboy interview (Hollings: "I'm lusting for the nomination") does not quite work. "There are no eternal political jokes," says Mankiewicz. He crafted one of the more enduring, however, in 1968 for Robert Kennedy: "I'm not really interested in the presidency, and neither...
...that description. It is not a question of some malformation of body à la Elephant Man, it is a question of a cancerously aberrant soul.

If Stoppard's other work (Jumpers, Travesties) can be seen as a series of dazzling games-word games, mind games, games the mind plays on itself, games of war and politics, the exasperatingly intricate game of life-The Real Thing announces itself as just that: a real, straightforward play about matters of the heart, one that...
...atmosphere at the abbey, already poisoned by suspicions of heresy and unholy lust among some of the monks, quickly becomes lethal as other mysterious deaths take place-a total of seven bloody deeds. William speculates that the killer may be inspired by the Book of Revelation, where it is prophesied that a series of seven trumpet calls will signal death and destruction before the Apocalypse...
