I thought Richard III so hard that I thought I posted to the list 
about it, but perhaps I didn't. I try to tell everyone I know about 
it, but most of them haven't read or seen Richard III and they look at 
me with glazed eyes. 

BTW, I hope we see a little bit more of evil charm. Tom Riddle 
mentioned that he had been always able to charm people, but his 
current manifestation is less than charming. Then, again Richard 
wasn't the handsomest character around.

kill his nephews, but is fascinated by Shakespeare's Richard.
