Description:

Taking as their theme the power of two English institutions--the monarchy and the justice system--two stories demonstrate with delectable wit how individuals can become so bound to the institutions they serve that they cease to exist. ***Hoosh-Mi***, Queen Elizabeth II contracts rabies from a corgi; and ***Bathpool Park***, focuses on the trial of Donald Neilson, the so-called "Black Panther," who after a series of post office robberies involving three murders kidnapped seventeen-year-old Lesley Whittle of whose murder he was also convicted.
