Shooting in the Streets. After receiving the Nobel Prize in 1950, Faulkner reluctantly began to develop a sense of responsibility to his audience, and also as a spokesman for the South, though he could still be unpredictable and self-contradictory. His most notorious statement on the racial crisis came in the course of a rambling, angry Oxford interview in February 1956 with British Newsman Russell Warren Howe, who reported Faulkner as saying: "If it came to fighting I'd fight for Mississippi against the United States even if it meant going out into the street and shooting Negroes...
Spiritual Need. An A.L.C. committee investigating glossolalia last year warned that it has led to "divisions and tensions" in many congregations; tongues advocates often tend to slight regular worship services, force the practice on doubters, and develop into an ecstatic spiritual elite. But Lutheran leaders have little hope that the tongues will now be silent. Admits Dr. Schiotz: "Perhaps it is a reaction against the tendency to over-intellectualize the Christian faith.

To sit through the film is something like holding an elephant on your lap for two hours and 15 minutes. You can hardly measure what you have there...
...resonances somehow develop with rereading. Then Roethke's driest lines can blossom as unexpectedly as the desert cactus. One of his repeated, even self-conscious influences in such passages is Walt Whitman ("Be with me, Whitman, maker of catalogues / . . . the terrible hunger for objects quails me"). But for Roethke, "all finite things reveal infinitude," and . . . if we wait, unafraid, beyond the fearful instant...
