Democratic Senator Daniel Inouye, a Hawaiian of Japanese descent who lives in Maryland when Congress is in session, protested that half of the population of Hawaii would be considered "impure" in the eyes of Maryland. The law, he added, would make "interesting reading in many parts of Southeast Asia where we talk about democracy...
...Charles Osgood is conducting a "computerized exploration of the year 2000," and the Southern Illinois University is providing money and facilities for Buckminster Fuller's World Resources Inventory. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences helps to support the Commission on the Year 2000, headed by Columbia Sociologist Daniel Bell. The Ford Foundation has allocated $1,400,000 this year to a group called Resources for the Future, also supports a Paris-based organization, headed by Veteran Futurist Bertrand de Jouvenel, whose studies are known as "Les Futuribles...

The lion's costume was perhaps the most ludicrous of all. Wrapped in curling yellow...

Daniel and Belshazzar both have beards, but they are scraggly and youthful, not long and hoary. The only person whose face fits the drama is the lute player, who has a very full, dark, biblical beard. Furthermore, the singers are not consistent in their facial expressions; some of them never show any expression at all, while others come up with some amateurish miming. When the queen hears the fatal prophecy a worried...
