...with finding the motivation for his horrific crime, is transported into religio-sexual ecstasy in the presence of his equine gods. In a Broadway season when neophytes from Katie Holmes to Cedric the Entertainer are making their stage debuts, Radcliffe transcends stunt casting. He holds his own nicely opposite Richard Griffiths, the portly, Tony-winning star of The History Boys, who makes the psychiatrist, Dr. Martin Dysart, an empathetic if less charismatic figure than some actors (Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton) who have played the role before...

Legend has it that a rival promoter, who had been trying to bring clean-cut British pop star Cliff Richard to Israel at the same time, warned the authorities that the mop-haired Beatles would exert a dangerous influence on Israeli youth. Mindful of preserving the moral purity of the next generation, Israel's leaders canceled the show under pressure from conservative members of the Knesset. When a hoard...
