Another factor in Pike's decision may well have been the suicide of his eldest son last February, giving him a burden of sorrow to bear on top of his heavy duties. Under the circumstances, it is almost certain that the House of Bishops will let Pike go. Some prelates, in fact, will be delighted to see him leave the active hierarchy, since he has persistently outraged colleagues with his unconventional theological views. Pike has expressly denied the Incarnation, the Trinity, the Virgin birth and the physical resurrection of Christ...
...York, and in 1960 and 1964 tried his best to get the G.O.P. presidential nomination. Javits had little choice but to support Rockefeller's White House aspirations.

What he seems to be suggesting then, is the transfer of responsibility for long-range planning from the Foreign Service-laden Counselor's office in the State Department...
Mayer has placed an enormous burden on his cast, his technical crews and himself, and none of the three is able to sustain it for any protracted length of time. Brecht's play, as Mayer presents it, is a visual extravaganza. For once in a Loeb production the costumes--fiery red for the Gods, warm tans, greens and yellows for everyone else--have some relevance to the set's color scheme. But the set shakes frighteningly. The set, like the ensemble scenes in the first and second acts still needs a few day's work...
