...Cosmic Christology. Perhaps the most original and challenging address given at the Assembly came from Lutheran Dr. Joseph Sittler, professor of theology at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Before he left for New Delhi, Sittler told a Chicago friend what he had in mind. Christians, he felt, were too much inclined to dismiss Communist ideology as "barren materialism." But Communism "succeeds because it is not materialism. All things are given value and purpose and drawn into a huge vision for the totality of man and the world." In contrast, Christianity has shrunk until it has become little more than...

Aside from purely physical difficulties, the Leverett Dramatic Society had of Tamburlaine himself. Edward Alleyne is dead, and neither Edward Maguire nor anybody else today is equipped to rant that cosmic role. Even by 1600 it had become passe to split the ears of the groundlings, and we who are the heirs of the methods can provide Marlowe neither with actors nor audience ready to accept him on his own terms. Still, Maguire's martial bearing and lush voice mask his inadequacies well enough to let the play move ahead without much tedium. Maguire never plumbs any of Tamburlaine...

Concession to Russia. Few seemed more flustered than the New York Herald Tribune's Syndicated Columnist John Crosby, who last October promoted himself from television reviewing to patrolling a cosmic beat: "Mr. Kennedy says Berlin is not negotiable. Why isn't it? Why isn't anything negotiable rather than thermonuclear war? Are we going to wipe out two-and-a-half billion years of slow biological improvement? Over what-Berlin? I agree with Nehru that to go to war under any circumstances for anything at all in our world in our time is utter absurdity. I certainly...

...preserving their health. Bluntly, the government declared that Russian scientists were working on "superpowerful" bombs in the 100-megaton range (the equivalent of 100 million tons of TNT), made to fit rockets "similar to those used by Major Y. A. Gagarin and Major G. S. Titov for their unrivaled cosmic flights." In case somebody missed the point, Russia's army newspaper Red Star explained that nuclear weapons of such power could wipe out anyone anywhere: "No super-deep shelter can save them from an all-shattering blow from this weapon...
