...production at Spoleto (where John was "a proletarian upon whose class consciousness Salome comes to grief") or Wieland Wagner's West Berlin production last December, in which religiosity was emphasized. But connoisseurs of the basic Salome, who do not bother themselves with such matters, were content to say that Rudolfova was the sexiest Salome since Margaret Tynes -or maybe even that red-haired genius, Ljuba Welitch...
...selection of his most nubile maidens for a bare-breasted scene in which the Zulu warriors on the eve of battle are given the sort of sendoff that might well cause 4,000 men to lose to 130. The Zulus are cocky, freewheeling, and flamboyantly natural actors. They seem content with their basic $17 a month. They charge in sweating, shining waves with rawhide shields and high-borne spears.

...veins. But to understand any one of these mechanisms, young Dr. Moore realized, demanded understanding of broader and more fundamental subjects. What is the body's normal content of such common components as water, sodium and potassium? What changes occur after injury or surgery? Astonishingly, no one knew how to measure the amount of water in the human body...
