Pinter's Nobel Acceptance Speech

Harold Pinter has used his Nobel acceptance speech as an occasion to blast US foreign policy. Although the speech is outspoken, it is nowhere near as audacious as his 1966 interview with The Paris Review:

• The other night I watched some politicians on television talking about Vietnam. I wanted very much to burst through the screen with a flamethrower and burn their eyes out and their balls off and then inquire from them how they would assess this action from a political point of view.
