...argues that "the Connally Reservation is necessary to protect the U.S. against a program of supernational supervision of its citizens," imposed by alien jurists who could make up rules as they went along because the body of international law is incomplete and indecisive.

...ambitious series of dramas and operas, CBC will present Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Richard Strauss's Elektra, Verdi's Falstaff, Chekhov's The Three Sisters, O'Neill's The Great God Brown, Henry James's The Pupil, and Anouilh's Ring Around the Moon.
