Back in the 1950s and '60s, J. M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' — starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard — was regularly aired on network television during the Christmas season. I must have seen it four or five times and remember, in particular, Ritchard's gloriously camp interpretation of Captain Hook.

The power of man has grown in every sphere...No one should fear to undertake any task...It's the little details that are vital...Once you eliminate the impossible...Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction...Action expresses priorities...
