DeMille's mastery of spectacle stems not only from his ability to create convincing lavishness, but from his amazing sense of detail. Few directors excel him at dressing sets; from, palaces to tents, every human habitation looks as though people had lived there for years. In the temple courtyard, hawkers sell miniatures of the 90-foot high idol within, which the audience hasn't even seen yet.

A series of workshops next week will explore in detail the alternatives to military service and the possibility of resistance within the armed forces themselves. The Union is also valuable in maintaining communication between draft resisters, their supporters, those who enter the service, and those who emigrate to Canada. The Quincy House chapter, most particularly, has shown initiative by sending out a letter to parents...
