Even in the act of suicide, he summons up an image of how he once smote a circumcised dog of a Turk. His love of Desdemona is a kind of image of love. His heart breaks when lago tarnishes that image, long before Desdemona herself is actually destroyed. Neither Olivier nor Gunn nor Jones has been able to convey this.

President Clarence Campbell, he said, was a "stuffed shirt" for not letting him wear white skates. Famed old Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings was "the dirtiest player in the league." Named Rookie...
...visits home carried millions more in the form of washers, TV sets and bicycles. Of the workers in Germany, more than half have remained at least four years, far longer than they originally intended. "How else could I ever save 400 marks a month," asks a Turk in Munich, "and still send enough money home to support my family? Some day, at home, I will have a good farm...
