...chemical introduced last week by Fort Worth's Western Co. of North America. Sprayed on the street and hosed with water, the chemical, which goes under the trade name "Rio-Trol," produces a surface ten times as slick as ice-and ten times as hard for rioters to walk on. Still in the early stage of experimentation by at least one company is a tranquilizer dart-a kind of instant Miltown-that could be fired from a distance, yet reduce any suspect to euphoric nonviolence...

He is a hard chap to map. His source may lie in the Peaks of Paranoia or the Pools of Narcissus. It is anybody's guess...
...Lady Macbeth is egging her husband on, Colicos not only says, "Prithee, peace," but also strikes her to the floor in anger. This man is no willing regicide. When he first meets King Duncan face to face, he kneels loyally and stays there until the king himself has to walk over and pull him up by the shoulders...
