...meet in that condition. He never contacted Ulen, before or after the meet. He foisted his ignorance off on the Crimson swimmers, charging them with falling short when they exceeded all they had done before. For this reason, Danzig should never have written his article. That he made a fool of himself to the informed is inconsequential. That he panned some guys who swam their hearts out and succeeded eminently matters very much
Possibly the State Department feels that this active acquiescence in the arming of Israel will fool the Arabs, while calming Israeli fears. It is unlikely, however, that the guise will be any more effective than Russia's use of Czech arms. Worse, this attempt to use the French as a decoy represents not only diplomatic ineptitude, but moral cowardice.

Chekhov's provincial tale of pathetically muffed chances and comically muddled lives, of a pompous fool for whom better people have toiled and a shallow woman with whom better men are infatuated, is wonderfully life-sized and life-stained. Compared to The Three Sisters or The Cherry Orchard, Vanya has little resonance or fragrance: it offers fly-specks rather than patina, flatted notes oftener than chords. Chekhov...
