...Griffin. It is a difficult role, for Christy's character does not so much develop as burst from revelation to revelation. Ingenuous cowardice erupts into lyric bragging, which suddenly becomes an adolescent protestation of love. Christy's final and most important change from bondage to freedom, from boyhood to manhood, is as unexpected as the rest. Griffin plays the part with extraordinary exuberance and intelligence; he achieves the clarity necessary if the play is to make sense. Occasionally, as in the love scene and in the final scene of the play, his exuberance becomes the rare power that makes...

His father Joseph was a thriving merchant with a string of 16 village stores that eventually grew into a sawmill, a hotel, plantations, a fleet of trucks, and a proud title for his firm: "J. Kapenda Tshombe et Fils." Joseph Tshombe became...
Fearless and teal, pious and pitying, cunning and courteous, he was a paragon of chivalry and the mold of Spanish manhood. He became a legend in his lifetime, and some 40 years after his death in 1099 he was celebrated in El Poema de Mio Cid-a vast rambling rime that became the national epic-as the Lancelot of Spain and something more, as a sort of Round Table...
