This week's Nation contains a very interesting description of the recent production of the Greek tragedy, "OEdipus" at Cambridge, England.

The man who finds all his examinations coming within the first five days and that he will then have a two weeks' vacation, looks triumphantly at the struggling mortal next to him who sees with horror that his first...
