According to various Tudors, Richard spent a cagey two years in his mother's womb, waiting for the appearance of "a hostile star'' that would make him a proper "Antichrist." When at last he made his delayed entry (in 1452), he did so feet foremost, with a set of teeth, and black hair flowing down to his deformed shoulders.

He had precise diction and always reacted to what others were saying around him, virtues which others in the cast might well emulate. Bobbitt would seem to be the most accomplished member of this summer's company, though he is not in a class with Lewis Palter, the star of Tuft's 1955 season. He still should work to eliminate his occasional stiffness of body or limbs...
