3 Yawp Dana. As was  said in History of the World Part II there was the inevitable afterbirth of the critic.

4 Did you ever have the ineffable joy of reading "The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N" (those aren't typos, they're all caps and stars in the original), by "Leonard Q. Ross" (pen name of Leo Rosten)? I think it was written in the late 1930s and dealt with teaching immigrants the English language in night school. The main character was Hyman Kaplan, who loved to write his name in caps with stars, and had, as you'd guess, a very ebullient personality but didn't look at the world quite the same way his literal-minded teacher, Mr. Parkhill, did.

One opinion he had, that he would not be disabused of, was that Shakespeare was the greatest author of all time, PERIOD. And when one of the other students in the class suggested that a passage they'd just read ("Tomorrow, and tomorrow" from Macbeth) reminded her of Dante, Mr, Kaplan exploded "Mein Gott! Jakesbeer you are comparink to a TANTE?!!!" And so forth. (Actually, Dante occupies as exalted a position in the development of the Italian language as Shakespeare does in English.)

Anyhow, Mr. Kaplan mistakenly thinks the passage is from Julius Caesar ("Jullius Scissor") but defends it brilliantly and totally confounds Mr. Parkhill, who after that incident is never able to hear that speech in its proper context again. And I'm thinking how much I loved that book and am mourning the fact that it's one I had to ditch when we moved.
