Shakespeare himself, who perfected the double entendre, would have appreciated the sight gags and lowbrow humor that comprise so much of this play. Traditional gags and constant physical comedy alone make this play funny, but rich word-play quickens and deepens the humor. The writers who created The Compleat Works are clearly Shakespearean scholars. "That which we call a nose, by any other name, would still smell," philosophizes one actor in the ten-minute version of Romeo and Juliet at the play's inception.

Nothing is as attractive as the sight of young people flinging boisterously into life (see the American women's soccer team), and the thrill comes as much from wishing them well as from anything of their own doing.

"Anyone who has flown regularly on the East Coast in summer knows that the horizon can disappear completely in the haze," says Hannifin. One scenario: Kennedy began a normal turn, and then lost sight of the horizon. If he made the turn too tight, he could have lost lift. From there it would be straight down, and fast. "The poor guy wasn?t rated for an instrument flight," says Hannifin. "When the weather got beyond his capability and he could no longer...
