...difficult role, and dominates the evening. His Edward is perfectly true to Marlowe's--sensitive, sometimes indecisive, but consciously royal. Lithgow's diction, like everyone's, is almost perfect, though he stumbles too often in a few of his lines. But his voice covers the range between rage and self-pity easily, and his movements are the most effective in the show. His best moment--and the play's--is the death scene, where he communicates fully the terror of his murder. He does justice to a scene which, said Charles Lamb, "moves pity and terror beyond any scene, ancient...
...long as Kashmir remains an issue between them, India and Pakistan will rage at each other with the furious in tensity of a cobra and a mongoose. Three weeks ago, the United Nations Security Council shelved debate on the thorny problem without recommending any action. The debate had hardly ended when a furious volley of gunfire erupted along the troubled Kashmir cease-fire line, leaving 23 Indian policemen dead and missing...
...offering him the presidency of the Supreme Court, the deal fell through. As chief of the opposition, Aubame insisted on also keeping his National Assembly seat. Last month, with the defeat of a bill aimed at eliminating one of Aubame's two jobs, Mba flew into a rage and tried to force his rival out.

Surrender utterly to the sea and cease fretting about right and wrong, truth and falsehood, good and evil. Become as free as the sea; surrender to uncertainty as the only certainty...
...What happens is a howling shame. Roger is defeated in conversation by an undergraduate "Jewish jackanapes" who enrages him by professing identical opinions. He tests his conviction that "these Yank college girls were at it all the time," and is bitten severely in his fat neck. He bloats with rage after a faculty party when he guessed the word was "effeminately" in a game of charades; the word was "Britishly." He is finally seduced by an ill-complected nymphomaniac and is comic in love as he conjugates Latin to prolong his pleasure. He is outdrunk, outmaneuvered, outraged and out-snuffed...
