...minutes. Of course the two appearances of Hecate should be cut, since they are later interpolations--but this is a matter of only forty or fifty lines. Any further cutting is unwise. The text as we have it is, except for The Comedy of Errors, the shortest in the canon. It is hardly more than half as long as Hamlet. As it stands, it is tightly constructed. There are no sub-plots, and no excrescences. Everything deals with the prime matter at hand--even the drunken porter's scene has a far more important function than that of mere comic...
...decency in this comparison. Our nation never compromised with Hitler Germany. It never signed a pact with it, as did the U.S.S.R. in 1939. To associate the name of Israel with the accursed tyrant who engulfed the Jewish people in a tidal wave of slaughter is to violate every canon of elementary taste and fundamental truth." While Eban was speaking, Kosygin got up from his seat and walked out of the Assembly. He had a luncheon engagement, he explained...
Accordingly, when the Very Rev. Walter R. Matthews, 85, recently announced his retirement as dean of St. Paul's, Anglican insiders were betting that Prime Minister Harold Wilson would probably follow tradition, name either one of two outspoken ecclesiastical controversialists to the post: Ban-the-Bomb Canon Lewis John Collins of the cathedral, or Ardent Left-winger Edward Carpenter, Archdeacon of Westminster.

Resisting a nationwide trend against capital punishment (TIME, April 21), Colorado voters last November voted 2 to 1 to retain the death penalty, and the state was about to execute its 77th prisoner...
...short, most sex education tries to perpetuate by enlightened sweet reasonableness the same morality that was once enforceable by social or religious canon and parental fiat. It does not necessarily work. Family Life Professor Lester Allen Kirkendall of Oregon State, who has been working on sex education since 1928, decries the tendency of parents to look on sex education as "disaster insurance." The old threats of pregnancy, venereal disease and community disapproval no longer carry the weight they once did, according to Kirkendall. "Many parents still think we can revitalize these threats," he says, "but the kids...
