...statement made it clear that De Gaulle was not about to apologize to his Canadian hosts or even appear contrite for the clamor he raised with his call for a Quebec libre. Well aware that his new statement would only keep the hassle alive, he said with a kind of wistful pride: "It's always been like that." Lest any of his ministers had forgotten, he then recalled the brouhahas of other days-from his refusal to meet F.D.R. after the Yalta Conference in 1945 to his recognition of Red China in 1964.

...Capitol past the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial-a vista Bunshaft considers "one of the greatest in all architecture." Instead, he has sunk the pool and sculpture area 7 ft. below the Mall level.

In conclusion, riots appear to be an unavoidable phenomenon dictated by the conditions which have come before; they are like any other natural disaster, only they are man-made...

Shakespeare intended that someone impersonating a ghost should actually appear here twice; and it was always done this way from his day until Kemble's production of 1794. Nonetheless, it is wrong. And director Houseman was right to substitute a weak red spotlight instead (which has the added virtue of avoiding a decision as to whether one of the two appearances is the ghost of Duncan rather than of Banquo). The apparitions are hallucinatory and visible only to Macbeth. It makes no more sense to bring in a ghost visible...
