Standard bearer of freedom in the old Italian colony (pop. 1,500,000) is Abdullahi Issa, 38. His counterpart in the old British colony (pop. 640,000) is a British-educated rich man's son, Mohammed Ibrahim Egal, 32. When Issa brought up independence last year, Italy told him he could have it whenever he liked. Egal promptly asked for permission to join his colony to the new nation. Britain readily agreed. The two men quickly worked out a merger agreement, and last week the two legislatures simply combined. As the Somali Republic's Provisional President, Issa...
Coming after Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Winter's Tale, The Tempest caps a magnificent interrelated tetralogy, the dramatist's counterpart to the late Beethoven quartets Op. 130-133. All four plays explore the estrangement-remorse-reconciliation theme. But The Tempest is extraordinarily rich in meanings--in Mark Van Doren's felicitous words, "Any set of symbols, moved close to this play, lights up as in an electric field." Whatever else it may be, the play is a masterful study of the use and abuse of liberty (how often the very words "liberty," "free" and "freedom" crop up in the text...
Skirting the Stars. Cosi, along with its rivals, has no real counterpart in U.S. journalism; it combines the fashion-consciousness of an especially demure Vogue with the love stories of a particularly sedate Redbook, the gossip columns of the less sensational U.S. movie magazines with the diet and beauty advice of a Ladies' Home Journal. Among its features is a weekly horoscope; Cosi skirts church objections with a cautionary footnote reminding readers that human will is independent of the stars...
With its necklace of colored lights and blinking neon signs, Argentina's only outdoor used-car lot (the "Automart"), in suburban Buenos Aires, looks like its ubiquitous U.S. counterpart run by "Madman Mike" or "Giveaway Gus." Even the sales pitch is the same: "Good Runner!" says a sign plastered to a windshield. But there the similarity ends. Precious few '58s, '59s and '60s shine forth at the Automart. A 1925 T-model Ford is price-tagged at $500; beside it stands a 1930 Dodge at $875; next comes a 1936 British Lagonda...
...consequence of this conception for Barth's theology is a newly positive attitude toward the church. "It was a part of the exaggerations of which we were guilty in 1920," he admits, "that we were able to see the theological relevance of the Church only as a negative counterpart to the Kingdom of God which we had then so happily rediscovered. We wanted to interpret the form of the Church's doctrine, its worship, its juridical order as 'human, all too human,' as 'not so important . . .' In all this we at least approached...
