...gone a step further here. Virginia lives in the present. The three girl tormentors, however, are not facets of her personality but rather three historical stages of her life. Laurents has put them all on the same temporal plane--the present--so that the three can converse and interact with themselves, with Virginia, and with the other characters in the play. This dangerous gimmick, adumbrated in Miller's Death of a Salesman, works beautifully here and the result is highly effective theatre...
...Gold, half of the galaxies may be made of antimatter. They will be pushing their neighbors away by antigravity, but the light that comes from them will reveal nothing unusual about them. Only when galaxies of hostile type happen to collide in spite of anti-gravity will their matter interact violently. This may be happening. Several odd objects deep in space, e.g., the M 87 galaxy, seem to get large amounts of energy from an unknown source. These may be pairs of hostile galaxies, fighting vast duels of annihilation...
...ordinary instruments is like catching bats with a steam shovel. Since they carry no electric charge and are vanishingly small, they pay little attention to matter. The average neutrino can probably pass through billions or trillions of miles of dense material without being stopped by it. Neutrons do, however, "interact" slightly with protons; so there is a very small chance that if a great many neutrinos pass through a material rich in protons, a few of them will be intercepted in a way that can be detected...
...immediately, Marshall must deal with the future course of desegregation and the intertwined issues of the social revolution of which he is a leading figure. He cannot set the course, not even for the N.A.A.C.P. But what he decides to do about a thousand practical legal questions will interact powerfully with the decisions and attitudes of other men of similar and quite different and opposite views. The resultant of these forces will determine the pace, the style and the success of an effort to remove from U.S. life a paralyzing sting in its conscience and the ugliest blot upon...
While the Dudley leaders have not plugged their cars against talk of integration's possibilities, the Dudley Reporter last week declared "Dudley has far greater potentialities as a place where all commuters can interact on the same prestige level; a place where we can continue to develop out fine group spirit...
