...burst like bombs (significantly, Caliban's language is liberally peppered with plosive labials). Yet Hyman shows us the pathos of this bastard brute too, and he underlines Caliban's dim gropings for aesthetic values in that great speech beginning. "The isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not." Hyman's Caliban lacks only the digital "long nails" he himself speaks...
...Tears. In two states the bandwagon nearly overshot its goal. Some Iowa delegates got hot because of Kennedyite attempts to get a public commitment out of Kennedy-leaning Governor Herschel Loveless; so enraged were some delegates that a few fell prey to the sweet-talk of Lyndon Johnson and his wife Lady Bird, when they came calling.

He packed worlds into monosyllables. "To be or not to be" is man's largest question put in man's smallest and simplest words. Once uttered, they expand to fill all the space...
...Apartment. Producer-Director Billy Wilder tells of a sweet-natured schnook (brilliantly played by Jack Lemmon) who shoots up the corporate ladder by turning his apartment into a glad pad for his bosses and their girls, in an excellent movie that mixes comedy, pathos and a tough sense of irony about life. With Shirley MacLaine as fetching as ever...
