...days made easy for everything else in America. And in the areas of our world where population in crease is an alarming concern to science it is reassuring to know that God alone gives the test of faith. Pope Paul stands with every Pope before him to remind the world that to live, no matter what the circumstances, brings honor and glory to the Creator.

For one thing, they would no doubt remind the Czechoslovaks that 80% of their trade is with the Soviet Union, which could easily cut off the wheat and raw materials that the country depends upon.

Similarly, Irma is conceived as the Madam of an answering service, a nervous dike devoid of femininity and consequent feminine insight. This is supported by the text often, particularly in the dialogue with Carmen, but it annihilates any credibility to her stated relationship with Georges, the chief of police. Genet's contradictions work better...
