...that "Carson seemed a bit hurt that the U.S. papers picked up the worst quotes in the papers here" and, for a more moderate view, directed the curious to a Sunday Times column by TV Critic Russell Davies. That was largely an act of existential futility, like trying to hide from a blizzard inside a freezer. Davies wrote that the premiere Tonight show "had catastrophically equated our national tastes with those of Benny Hill," then proceeded to nail Carson's guests, his audience, his tailoring and "a marmoset [that] peed endearingly on Johnny's head and an aardvark...
...Milpitas, Calif., had never seen such a case of bleak amorality and callousness. Last month, they report, Anthony Jacques Broussard bragged to friends about strangling his former girlfriend, and then invited them out to see the body. One onlooker tossed a stone at the corpse; another helped to hide it; for two days no one notified the authorities. These were not hardened ex-convicts or members of a motorcycle gang.

Far from being some sort of tidal occurrence, a revolution is made up of first hundreds, then thousands, finally millions of individual decisions. Usually the decisions are horribly hard; the young Guard member in The Uprising who eventually joins the Sandinistas knows it will likely be the death of his parents. Those who have a hard time imagining how bad conditions were under Somoza (or are under El Salvador's "14 families") might...
