...your review of Oedipus [Oct. Ill, you castigate Chris Plummer for making the King of Thebes "arrogant rather than hubristic," his fate more like "a matter of just deserts than a result of the awesome machinations of Apollo." Face it, baby: Apollo is dead. Nobody prays in the Theater of Dionysius today. And whatever the 20th century gods do, they don't machinate. Sophocles' play, though, lives on. Ever wonder why?

According to an American associate, Eliot Bailen, Onassis "is not an officer of any corporation, domestic or foreign, but an owner holding stock that gives him control of corporations." As a result, he controls some 100 companies in a dozen nations, operating a fleet of perhaps 4,000,000 tons displacement under "flags of convenience."

As a result, their true policies often seem equally vague to many voters. Not that taking hard positions on hard problems is easy; more and more national problems have grown so complicated that solutions stump and split the most informed experts. Moreover, a candidate must simplify such problems for the public, and inevitably risk...
...evident to me. I knew this beforehand, when I made up my mind to go to Red Square. Nothing has shaken these convictions, because I was positive that the employees of the KGB would stage a provocation against me. I know that what happened to me is the result of provocation...
