But this year the Atlanta group has a really outstanding Hamlet in Jonathan Phelps, whose considerable technical facility is matched by a scholarly understanding of his subject, resulting in a performance of unusual balance...
...Protestant?" Earl Alex ander of Hillsborough, a Baptist, demanded of the Archbishop of Canterbury during debate in the House of Lords on a measure to permit more elaborate priestly vestments at Communion services. "I am a Protestant precisely in the way the Prayer Book and the Anglican formularies use that term," replied the Most Rev. Arthur Michael Ramsey...
