...proud moment in the life of moonfaced Earl C. Corey when he was summoned to Washington in May 1959 to receive the Department of Agriculture's Superior Service Award. Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson himself pinned a silver medal on Corey's lapel, cited his "significant contributions to agriculture through his fine relationships with producing, warehousing and merchandising groups...
...disapproves of. The board's right-wing majority has denounced the U.N. as unAmerican, banned standard textbooks as "anti-capitalistic," fired teachers on shaky charges of being "leftish." In this crusade, no one has been more energetic than tiny, taut Bertie Maughmer, 44, wife of Police Lieutenant Earl Maughmer Jr. Last week, as an eerie footnote to the proceedings, Board Member Maughmer was under a charge of assault to murder.

His demise is the sole truly tragic aspect of this play; but one cannot call Antony a tragedy about Enobarbus as one can call Julius Caesar a tragedy about Brutus. Donald Davis' traversal of Enobarbus' famous Barge narration is not up to par, but his later scenes of repentance and death are powerful acting Rae Allen (Charmian), Will Geer (Agrippa), Claude Woolman (Menas), and Richard Waring (Sooth-sayer) are commendable in smaller parts; but Patrick Hires...
