...Unanticipated Disaster." The Classical Greek and Oriental idea of the progress of man, says Author Niebuhr, was that there was no such thing. Like the endless cycles of nature, the projects and enterprises of men and nations were thought to flourish and die again & again in an eternal circle of recurrences. Man's only hope, Plato taught, was to free his spirit from imprisonment in the living death of the bodily world. When the Biblical-Christian conception of history replaced this classical view, says Niebuhr, "the dynamism of Western culture was made possible." Christian teaching viewed and still views...
...Golden Bug. In the test tube, neomycin worked against strains of tuberculosis bacilli which might become resistant to streptomycin (i.e., learn how to flourish alongside streptomycin). The bacilli did not become resistant to neomycin as they had to the older drug. Tests with animals are not yet complete, because there has not been enough of the stuff to work with.

So Mr. Barry has left the play distinctly Gallic...
This reviewer always felt that Bob Hope was a better buffoon than rapid fire gagster. Apparently Director McLeod thought the same thing because he has Hope superbly overplaying his part. He does the commonplace with a flourish and the spectacular by mistake. He is at his best when he pulls the wrong tooth and when he swaggers around town under the impression he is a dead shot...
