RADAR'S ZINGER
Critic John Simon says he would have given Harold Pinter three Nobels in one -- "the Nobel for Arrogance, the Nobel for Self-promotion, or the Nobel for Hypocrisy" -- but not the Nobel for Literature. Writing this morning in Radar magazine's online Kulture Klub, the notorious Mr. Nasty, right, objects to Pinter's prize because the playwright has been "spewing venom at the United States while basking in our dollars." Apparently our crackpot critic forgets that the Nobel is not an American prize to give. And never mind his literary objections. He'll be writing White House press releases next.
