...phrase "essential action" advisedly. Mr. Gordon objects to the "fascination" of "blood-red" at the climax of Oedipus Rex. In a fully-staged production, I admit, a device of this sort would be unnecessary--but this is a "concert reading" in which, with as little actual staging as possible, an attempt is made to focus attention on the themes and meanings imbedded in the script itself: exactly what Oedipus' words are at the climactic moment is not so important as the atmosphere in which they occur, which has brought them about.

Others insisted that since all pilots are trained to push engine throttles forward when they want more speed, they might get confused at a dangerous moment if they were compelled to pull the wing control backward for the same effect. The second faction won. Now, with a plane that can fly to any place in the world in a single day, F-111 pilots will still be handling controls as familiar and reliable...
