...Buddhist captors through Saigon's wide, tamarind shaded streets, past truckloads of police who did nothing to save him, toward the central market. There, a Buddhist mob howled and rushed the prisoner. A ten-year-old boy plunged a dagger into his thigh: the victim tried to flee but was stopped beore he went 20 steps. A bicycle was thrown on top of him, and the mob jumped up and down on it. Finally, the Catholic struggled up, dragging a broken leg behind him, but was cut down again and killed by flailing clubs...
...Signal. Chief political victim was goateed little General Nguyen Khanh, who during seven months in power had striven vainly to unite his people in the antiguerrilla struggle.

The script, about a con man's production of the Passion Play, combines vaudeville, burlesque, music and a speaking chorus...
...World War I, of course, that Brooke found completion in every sense, and he seemingly anticipated his fate years ahead of time. It was not a heroic death. The war poet, as he is remembered, was a victim of blood poisoning aboard a ship in the Aegean. His grave on the island of Skyros attracts almost as many tourists as Shelley's grave in the English Protestant Cemetery in Rome. In Brooke's memory, Grantchester's clock for many years was stopped at ten to three...
