Soviet propagandists blamed a worldwide conspiracy of Zionists backed by neo-Nazis and U.S. imperialists.

In Love and Hate, Author Ivan Shevtsov has the Jewish villain kill his mother to gain his inheritance. The Soviet press also berates the Jews for their "God-chosen-ness" and argues that "Judaism and Zionism educate the Jews in the spirit of contempt and even hatred...

The difference is subtle, but the Globe is proud...
Joseph Maher plays the vile braggart Parolles very close to farce. Dressed in hideous patchwork garb with a ring in his left ear, he exaggerates his hat flourishes, sticks himself with his sword, and at one point makes his exit like a javelin-thrower in slow motion. But why must he change Shakespeare's "an idle lord" to "a foolish lord"? Once started, there is no end to such idle tinkering...
