myself out to a level of superior cynicism. For
me, enforcing laws was like being trapped in the
chaotic middle of a sociological chamber of
horrors. Coping with such a high level of
emotional disenchantment impacted me drastically
and threatened to chisel my psyche down to a dark
mute point. The respo...

Peter Shaffers Amadeus. The first, and the easiest
for me, is as an artistic work only. As an
artistic endeavor, Amadeus is a triumph.
