...Caedmon). No single drama of Ibsen's is more Freudian, and hence accessible to the modern mind. The play is a situation tragedy, and the symbols bleed. Solness, the artist-builder-husband, is vile in his self-absorption, and pitiable as he watches the tide of his creativity ebb. His wife is stifling and stifled. The young girl Hilde Wangel is Solness' mirage of the second chance, lost youth, lost inspiration, lost love recovered. But life is a role that man cannot rehearse or reverse.

...anti-U.S. struggle does not advance in a straight line," counseled the Chinese Communist Party paper in Peking last week. "There will be ebb tide, high tide, ebb tide and high tide again."

Developed haphazardly, with a strong flavor of claptrap and ticky-tacky, the magnificent sweep of beaches has seen the tide of tourism rise, then ebb. Now it is rising again, to fill the well-appointed hotels for the average tourist -El Presidente, Acapulco Hilton, El Elcano-sitting on the beach, surrounded by well-stocked shops...
...EBB TIDE (Philles). Few white singers can sing rhythm and blues like the Righteous Brothers ("blue-eyed soul," it is called), but for the moment they seem swept away by Wagnerian passions. In fact, the singing is all but drowned out by a symphonic surge apparently recorded in an ocean cave...
