Thus, through-the-looking-glass, the New Statesman imagines what world reaction would have been if the U.S. had been in Russia's role vis-a-vis Czechoslovakia. The usually anti-American magazine suggested, of course, that the U.S. was not unnecessarily beyond this sort of behavior, particularly if the country in question were as near to the U.S. as Czechoslovakia is to Russia.

...agreement with the United Steelworkers of America last week on a new labor contract providing for annual wage-and-benefit increases of 6%, Federal Labor Mediator William B.

My own reaction to this kind of performance is unprintable but I do think it's an obvious and unrewarding way to alter more accepted interpretations of the character. And this is also true of James Keach's Achilles, a psychopathic narcissistic Hell's Angel type, quickly uninteresting once the gag wears off. A more original job of reinterpretation is Schmidt's casting of Raymond Singer as the venemous fool Thersites, a character...
