A somewhat late response to Michael's question about heads. Although I haven't
seen *Goodnight Desdemona*, could it be a reference to the lines from *Othello*
? "And men whose heads did grow beneath their shoulders". 1.2, I believe, it's
from the scene where Desdemona explains how Othello won her love with stories
of his life.

This is a message to Chris Kendall, re Shakespeare and Nazi Germany. I've
never posted here before, so I hope it comes through.
Chris. It might be fun to have your class watch Mephisto and to discuss the
production of Hamlet they are working on at the end of that film. I did this
a few years back with a 1B class here at Berkeley, and then showed them the
Mel Gibson Hamlet, with special emphasis on the issue of overhearing and
surviellance. I told my students that the Gibson Hamlet was the same versiou
they were doing in Mephisto. This, naturally, provoked a lot of hot discussion
and a few really good papers. Anyway, this is not really a historical record
but it may help.
