Many states tend to keep their criminals hidden away, but Colorado's are highly visible. During the past two years, teams of convicts from the state penitentiary at Canon City have been al lowed to leave prison - each team with only one unarmed guard - to go on speaking tours throughout the state. As a result, Coloradans outside the walls are gaining an understanding of the convicts, and have begun to take an interest in their problems...

What the "leave" involves, according to the 50-year-old priest, is "a new career in Texas, possibly as a social worker or insurance salesman."

At any rate, Shaw was always fascinated by the religious mentality; and, although he often touched on religion elsewhere, he examined it in detail on the stage three times in his career. The first result was The Shewing-Up of Blanco Posnet (1909), a religious tract in the form of a romantic melodrama laid in our own Wild West. The third was Saint Joan (1923), not only Shaw's greatest play but also one of the consummate creative achievements of the twentieth...
