...lazy!" screamed Manager Gil Clancy. "Fight! Move! Fight!" Sure, Griffith was piling up points, but Clancy was still not satisfied. "You never know about officials," he said darkly. Once Stable threw a punch after the bell, and for an instant Emile's face contorted with rage -but then he trotted meekly to his corner. The referee scored it 11-4; the other two officials made it unanimous for his eighth title defense. In his dressing room Griffith listened to the crowd roar as Torres pounded out a TKO victory over the aging Pastrano. "Stable was nervous, scared." Griffith said...

Selfridges stopped selling them a year ago -all of which goes to show that Meg's royal duties obviously leave her little time to think kinky...
Only Lithgow seems to be straining at the restrictions. His fits, his rage, his fear, his humor, demanded a bigger stage. It may be, too, that Lithgow hasn't worked out his interpretation of the part completely. Before the murder of Duncan he is too fearful; his ambition is not quite convincing. After that he alternates between a derisive irony and an unhinged fury that don't seem completely related...
