Camus has said that "everything begins with lucid indifference," and in the opening scene Caligula declares, "I am not mad. I have never been so lucid." Yet rather than play Calugula as existential lecturer, Karlen in fact appears a bit mad, like a boy with a whopping identity crisis and an over-powering impulse for self-destruction. When he announces that "people die and they are not happy. Everything is a lie and I want people to live in truth.

The Democratic Governor's Council, uncertain of its relations with the new Governor, Chub Peabody, and anxious to get his friends into office, was more than cooperative in making deals with Volpe...
...give a few examples. Liberal intellectuals attack Goldwater as a mad warmonger; consequently, they fail to understand, or to attack, his real views on foreign policy. Thus the CRIMSON quotes a professor quoting Goldwater as saying that nuclear war is inevitable. Goldwater in fact said that it would be inevitable if we continued our present foreign policy...
