...There must be at least half as many ways to play Shylock as to play Hamlet, and most of them have been tried. Max Adrian gave us an unsympathetic Shylock--bitter, gloating, sadistic.

McVay 3rd, respected, competent commanding officer of Indianapolis, and took two unprecedented steps: it court-martialed an officer for losing his ship to the enemy and called the enemy (in the person of the sub commander who sank Indy) to testify against him.

...told that Adam and Eve spoke English? Not necessarily. As Author Jacobs points out, German, Hungarian, Swedish, Celtic, Danish and Basque scholars have all proved to their satisfaction that their respective language was the one spoken in the Garden of Eden. A 17th century Englishman demonstrated that the language must have been Chinese, since a newborn baby's first yell is the Chinese word...
