Were the play better or the philosophy more challenging, Guthrie's approach might smack of outrage; as things stand, it is perhaps the only armor against boredom...

Out of the tombs have come such works as the stoneware Mounted Horseman, wearing a noble's peaked cap and leather armor of the 5th-6th century.

If the earth's atmosphere were compressed to the density of steel, it would form an armor plating 49 in. thick, but the moon's meager atmosphere, compressed in the same way, would be only one-millionth as thick as the thinnest soap-bubble film...
