- 4186: Falstaff's Role in Henry IV, Part One
- Falstaff's Role in Henry IV, Part One Henry IV, Part One, has always been one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, maybe because of Falstaff. Much of the early criticism I found concentrated on Falstaff and so will I. This may begin in the eighteenth century with Samuel Johnson. For Johnson, the Prince is a ... the play: 1. That Falstaff is the kind of character who invites a moral judgment mainly that he can answer to the charge of being a coward. 2. That you (the reader) can detach Falstaff's frivolity from the play and it can exist for its own sake apart from the major theme of the drama. 3. That the play is really about the fate of the kingdom, and that ...
- 4187: Luciano
- ... the crime “families” in the United States. He established this organization, la Cosa Nostra, and appointed a board of directors, including the legendary Al “Scar-face” Capone, with himself as the Chief Executive Officer. Luciano’s presence demanded respect from everyone and aided in the creation of the American Mafia, a malignant but far-reaching underworld force that, to this day, continues to flourish (Nash 251). Born to the name Salvatore ... started his first racket during that same year. For a penny or two a day, he offered younger and smaller Jewish children his personal protection against beatings on the way to school; if they didn’t pay, he beat them up.

- 4188: Essential Writings: Review
- Essential Writings: Review This is the fourth book in OUP's "Essential Writings" series that I happen to be revieweing. The first three were on Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, and Sri Auorbindo, respectively. It certainly looks as if the series is shaping up well, despite the inevitable unevenness in editorial inputs and quality. In the present book, for instance, the Introduction doesn't flow very well. Not only is the style choppy, but some of the paragraphs lack any sense of development or coherence. Here's an example: Yet for many the threat to the Hindu way was greater under the new "de facto sarkar" (ruler) than under the "ancien" "regime". Muslims settled in India; the English only colonized. Later ...

- 4190: Mosquito Coast
- THE MOSQUITO COAST "The Mosquito Coast" reunites Harrison Ford and Peter Weir after "Witness," for which they both received Academy Award nominations. Ford's performance may make him a dark horse for such a nomination in this long-anticipated film however, Weir is unlikely to receive similar accolade. Best box-office prospects for this clamorous Warner Bros. release may be a few years down the road - whenever the country returns to a 60s-type, anti-establishment period. Right now, word of mouth will be poisonous. Based on Paul Theroux's well-regarded 1982 novel, this film adaptation has brought to the screen some of the least appealing parts of the book's lead character, a brilliant but iconoclastic inventor. He rages against the phoniness of American life: neon, fast food, TV, pollution, crime and phony evangelism - in short, all the old and usual suspects. These may ...
