...make it to the big time. Tartikoff calls the character "a total sleaze-bag," comparing him to Archie Bunker but without Archie's tinge of lovableness. Says Producer Dennis Klein: "The only thing civilized about Bill is that he has learned how civilization works and he can fake...
Hitler's odious power to spellbind an audience has wreaked havoc once again in the furor over the fake diaries [May 16].

He has an acutely caricatural sense of conventions and some sophistication about how to create...
