I’m on the fence here. Comey’s book is well written, and gripping in places, but it leaves me a bit unsettled. Why does he keep changing his mind? Is I’m on the fence here. Comey’s book is well written, and gripping in places, but it leaves me a bit unsettled. Why does he keep changing his mind? Is he loyal to truth, or to himself? The mafia analogies certainly make sense to me, though. There is much that we shall perhaps never know until Judgment Day. ...more
This play gets better each time I see/read it. I think the most interesting characters are scheming Cardinal Wolsey and poor deserted Katherine. WolseyThis play gets better each time I see/read it. I think the most interesting characters are scheming Cardinal Wolsey and poor deserted Katherine. Wolsey: I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth. My high-blown pride At length broke under me, and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream that must for ever hide me....more
