...course not. Every actor, whether good or bad, is a unique complex of ingredients, of which his own voice is an essential one; and every actor can be validly judged only when that entire complex is presented inviolate. Otherwise, as Stanley Kauffman put it in his letter of protest, "I would never have heard the voices of Louis Jouvet, Edwige Feuillere, Takashi Shimura, Vittorio De Sica and Victor Sjostrom.

In a drunken orgy of looting and burning, African thugs smashed into banks, post offices and welfare buildings, attacked even African-owned beerhalls and shops...
After getting her report card, Charlene barricaded herself in the family bomb shelter that her housepainter father recently built off the cellar. Last week she emerged with a bomb for the school board -a scathing letter of protest, which the Manchester Evening Herald promptly published. Her complaint: that "in the jet age, the space age, the atomic age and the age of pushbutton warfare,'' Manchester High makes no distinction between brains and brawn.
