_. John Wayne, the great American actor, and something of an institution, is dying. He probably won't see the end of the month. Our friends in America, it seems, are becoming quite hysterical at the thought of Mr Wayne's coming departure to that great big cattle ranch in the sky. A growing dread is seizing everyone. I do find his films very likeable, and his roles are always endearing but he is no Laurence Olivier, is he?  Just imagine John Wayne playing Richard III or that nice gentleman in 'Pride and Prejudice'  - Mr Darcy.

Goodnight. To bed with Richard III.
