...cult TV show The Young Ones, appears in a 90-second ad dressed as Hitler to shout "Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Euro!" (One people! One country! One euro!) The ad, which includes other celebrities arguing that it is not anti-Europe to be anti-euro, drew the wrath of commentators and Jewish groups, who called it offensive and predicted it would backfire by painting the campaign in xenophobic colors. But George Eustice, the campaign's director, insisted that "anyone who sees the clip in its context is not going to take any offense." He may be right - nearly. Before...
...year-old tennis great's legendary temper, but still, he says, "there's probably times every day where I feel like I lose control." Judging by his new memoir, Serious (Little, Brown; 352 pages) - the title alludes to his catchphrase, "You cannot be serious" - the subject of his wrath nowadays isn't an umpire or an obnoxious fan but his racquet-smashing, tantrum-throwing self.

Now we have his book pretty much as he wrote it, a bit of unadulterated pre-Sept. 11 wrath and a handy compilation of everything Moore's fans hate about the contested 2000 election ("Gore won!"), corporate greed and the buccaneering free-market culture that gave us Enron. Some of it is very funny. A lot of it is old-time left-wing boilerplate...
...completely lacking in artistic merit, however. In general, the actors turn in quite stellar performances. Most praiseworthy is David N. Huyssen ’02, who is captivating in the title role. His maturity and composure hold the production together. As he lingers agonizingly between quiet despair and stentorian wrath, he is monstrously sympathetic. One cannot help but feel pity and anger for his horrible situation and bewildering deeds...
