Condon has unraveled. The world's villainy simply does not work so simply. To pretend that it does is mindless mischief...
...endearing rogue who puts his fat, pompous and moneyed betters in their places. At the behest of two lovelorn sons with two miserly fathers, Scapino engineers an endless repertory of deceptions with a blazing battery of slapstick. Whether mimicking the two dunderheaded old fossils, or mulcting them, or pretend-hiding them in sacks and flailing the daylights out of them with a cloth truncheon shaped like an oversize bologna, there is no stopping Scapino.

During the 1972 national election, which he won handily, Brandt chose a slogan that would have been unthinkable only a few years earlier: GERMANS! YOU CAN BE PROUD...
