...Farrakhan, the Muslim leader who has been making appearances with Jackson and furnishing him with bodyguards, declared on a radio sermon, "We're going to make an example of Milton Coleman! What do [we] intend to do? At this point no physical harm . . . One day soon we will punish you with death!" As a gratuitous aside, Farrakhan allowed that Hitler was "a very great man" albeit a "wicked...
...choice of such details is by no means infallible. At one point he cannot resist beginning to sketch a simplistic, two-toned play about a milk truck and a coal truck. Often, too, he is so ready to find himself guilty of every kind of moral inattention and to punish himself unsparingly that his soul searching comes to resemble breast beating. Yet Fugard's relentless self-scrutiny guards him from the traps of self-indulgence. "Do I pose?" he asks himself. "I don't think so-but I'm very given to tears...
Cenci (David Wingrove) is a man fed up with the hypocrisies of the Renaissance Church, personified by Camillo (Roger Kaplan).

...goin to make an example of Milton Colman!" cried the religious leader on a radio show broadcast from Chicago. "What do [we] intend to do to Mr. Coleman? At this point, no physical harm . . . We're going to punish the traitor and make the traitor beg for forgiveness . . . One day soon we will punish you with death! . . . This is a fitting punishment for such dogs." Coleman's wife, he promised, would "go to hell . . . the same punishment that's due that no-good, filthy traitor." The speaker: Louis Farrakhan, leader of the black Nation of Islam...
