...director's best work is in the scenes one would think most difficult: the long speeches and confrontations which account for most of Euripides's play. Even relatively uninteresting scenes, the early arguments between Agamemnon and Menelaus, for example, are photographed with subtlety and bursting with dramatic urgency. There is not one such scene in the original that is not splendidly filmed and acted; had Cacoyannis stuck only to these, with a few choice atmospheric shots in between, his film would have been nearly flawless...

On that account, the pharmacist's son-turned-statesman comes out deserving of the veneration he has been accorded. When historians decide, as is their wont, which men can be called "great"--which combine consistent articulation of ideals with a constructive and inspiring approach to the conduct of public affairs, Hubert Humphrey will justifiably be among them...

And today the cruise business is flourishing as never before, the lure of low-priced charter flights to everywhere notwithstanding. Bookings in North America, which account for more than 80% of the world's cruise trade, totaled $1.6 billion in 1977, double the volume of a decade before. The number of passengers has passed the million-a-year mark, and the median age is dropping...
