Pinter also eavesdrops. His "Experiment" sketches, shown in animation, were ideal eavesdropping situations: a foreman reporting to his jovial boss; a bus queue enlivened by a quarrel; an earnest job applicant getting the works. Thus summarized the sketches sound unexciting, but they completely engaged the viewers' attention, and were beautifully interspersed with filmed shots of London and Londoners-old ladies gossiping, Thames bargemen clowning when the camera was on them, swinging birds in a discotheque...
...neatly into Sheed's category. "Anyone who has ever sat around a rectory, or even an Irish living room, will have heard many duplicates of McCarthy's wit," Sheed writes. But for a presidential candidate, the McCarthy humor was a handicap, Sheed says, since it made him sound like "a 13th century eccentric, a man of crazed frivolity."

Incidentally, would you trust your life to a surgeon under 30--who never finished medical school...
...WANTED some shots of Tommy on horseback surveying the snowscape after Eleanora's death. Driving there, Tim and Eric talked a little about possible solutions to the jeep dilemma, but, after a few minutes, the only noise in the car was the low, static-filled sound of the radio. Outside it was gloomy. The beauty of the day was transformed...
