...only major source of discord among Baptists is something which began back in 1845. In that year, after a missionary society decision to employ no missionaries who owned slaves, the Baptists from the South walked out and formed their own denomination-the Southern Baptist Convention. In 1907 the Baptists north of the Mason-Dixon line united and called themselves the Northern Baptist Convention. Since then, all attempts at uniting the two have failed.

Since 1937, Denmark has been inviting foreign troupers to re-enact the tragedy right at the scene of the crimes. (Among its title-role guests: Sir Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud.) Next week, at the latest revival, Elsinore's visiting players will have traveled for the first time all the way from...
