Lately, an ominous note has crept into the competition. In the past, the fight was for larger circulation gains; now much of the struggle is just to keep from losing readers.

For his text, he seems to have taken the Duke's line, "This news is old enough, yet it is every day's news." In the program note, he dwells on the fact that the summer of 1604, when the play was produced, was a long hot summer of bad government and bad times...
