Shortly after Russia did get "the atom," by exploding its first bomb in 1949, the great philosopher began pleading with the West to lie down before world Communism. One day last week, Lord Russell, 89, walked into London's Bow Street Magistrates' Court accompanied by Lady Russell, 61, and three dozen fellow members of Britain's ban-the-bomb movement, which advocates unilateral Western dis armament.

At the climax, the Swiss hero draws his bow with fervor, shoots the apple from his son's head (the boy nods on cue, the apple falls, he leans over and picks up another one hidden in the grass with a shill arrow in it). In the audience, half the town roars with pride-the other half is in the play...
