...Yordan moves swiftly and synoptically through the Gospels: The Nativity, The Flight into Egypt. The Massacre of the Innocents; Christ's boyhood, baptism and temptation in the desert; Salome's Dance and the murder of John the Baptist; the Sermon on the Mount, the triumphal procession to Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, the Trial before Pilate, the Ascent of Calvary, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection. Unfortunately, many of these episodes are shamelessly scanted and most of Christ's miracles-certainly the most dramatic moments of his ministry-are inexplicably omitted. The time thus saved...

In a few moments, his final agonies will begin...
Tireless is the word for Showman Billy Rose. Fortnight ago, acting as head of the fine arts committee for Israel's new Jerusalem Museum of Art, he announced that he had persuaded U.S. Sculptor Jacques Lipchitz to bequeath 300 original plasters to the museum.* Last week he announced another coup. While lunching in London a month ago, he said, he asked the widow of Sculptor Jacob Epstein just what her U.S.-born husband would have done with his 200-odd original plasters had he known that Rose was gathering works for the ambitious museum in Israel.
