...Hamlet bleeds in the last scene; Nicol Williamson pours his blood into every scene. Williamson's Dane would have led a sit-in at the University of Wittenberg, or burned it to the ground. The rottenness of the state, the corruption of his elders, the brevity of his mother's love, Ophelia's frail readiness to be her father's pawn-all these nauseate him. Yet his antic disposition never leaves him, and a Hamlet has never been presented with so much caustic wit. With this performance, Nicol Williamson makes all previous Hamlets fade...

The staff spends anywhere from two to seven months a year on the road, inspecting new hotels and restaurants, revisiting those already mentioned in the guide. When a trip is in the offing, Villa Fielding becomes...

A product of prep schools, Princeton and genial genealogy, Fielding is descended on his father's side from Novelist Henry Fielding, related on his mother's to Naturalist William Temple Hornaday. After a brief postgraduate career as a mutual funds salesman, Temp turned to the typewriter and sold his first article to the Reader's Digest in 1940. He was then called into the Army and sent to Fort Bragg, N.C., where his commanding officer assigned...
