These last few walloping scenes can be spendid entertainment. Their blend of unacknowledged incestuous desires, suspected homosexuality, actual heterosexuality, jealousy, revenge, and murder is, even in this production, lively and brisk. But these scenes, in order to make the evening fully worth while, demand emotional acting on a grander scale than the present Warrenton Street group can manage...
...many places is done with some skill and the illusion of the character transformation is reasonably effective. The vast, pseudo-profound generalizations in the tragedy sequence are not always successful, and a number of Revere's phrases (the title, for instance) though pleasant sounding, and even suggestive, have no actual maening. Even with these limitations, however, A Wind of Light is a creditable piece, and should be interesting to see performed at Dunster House later in the year...

While the life of the mind requires no intrusion from without, the intellectual still is in his private life and in the actual exercise of his profession an individual man; and it is nothing but an affront to good common sense for him to insist that his profession precludes commitment to the local (institutional) conditions of his own personal--indeed professional--existence. The matter is made worse by the fact that the typically...
...about its objectives. Leningrad Physicist Lev Ponayeton said that data from the unseen side of the moon will help determine its shape and distribution of mass, which will be of tremendous help to manned space flights. Semi-official science reporters went farther, predicted that Lunik III would transmit actual photographs of the other side of the moon. Official scientists did not mention photographs, but it was significant that they launched their rocket at a time when most of the far side of the moon was in sunlight. Presumably, any picture of the moon's far side would be stored...
...second-Flemish Proverbs-may well be Brueghel's earliest extant painting, consists of twelve separate wooden "platters" framed as a unit. (One is reproduced life-size opposite, nine of the rest overleaf.) Pieter Brueghel the Younger framed the platters, but only the elder Brueghel could have done the actual painting. Only his hand was firm enough to form such airy medallions of understanding...
