...poet's concerns, for the most part, trick the reader into seeing life afresh, as when he remarks that his nose is growing...
...tried firmly to shun theological fashion, and his constant goal was to bring men back to the authenticity of God's word. Today, Barth's endless, old-fashioned commentary on this message may appear to be an obstacle to that goal. Tomorrow, it may well be read afresh as a vivid encounter of a great thinker's grappling with the divine unknown...
...films; it ranks lower than the Olivier Henry V, but only because of the substance, not the direction. With a charged, witty camera, Zeffirelli has managed to make the play alive and wholly contemporary without having had to transfer the action to a modern setting.

Death enlarges them when they abolish their parents...

Fighting also erupted in Toulouse, Lyon, St.-Nazaire and the automaking town of Sochaux, where two townspeople were killed. The renewed rioting took a heavy toll of the French economy, stalling the back-to-work movement at a time when 500,000 workers...
