...Christ to form a χ ρ. Similarly, early Christian worshipers and pilgrims used the Latin letters P and E for Peter, M for Mary, T for the Cross. These were often inserted in the names of the worshipers and those they wished to commemorate. Thus the name CRISPINA is written with a Greek X fused with the P, making the chi rho and indicating Crispina's devotion to Christ; beneath the T in the name RENATO, an E is drawn, signifying Peter's crucifixion...

G.G. was clean-shaven, B.G. had 5 o'clock shadow, and an experienced horse fan could predict the depth of the villain's depravity by checking the length of his sideburns.

When the show hit hard, a hasty passel of horse operators tried to follow his lead, but soon got lost in the chaparral cliches.

He indulges in no hindsight, and loads his play with no over-obvious parallels to contemporary events--though the audience is not discouraged from drawing parallels itself. But his play demonstrates impressively that when a man reasons from certain premises, it is inevitable for him to conclude that all opposition to the government is treason...
