Since her coronation in 1953, she has traveled 80,000 miles, far more than any other monarch in history. In 1954 she survived the loyal ecstasy of a million Australians in Sydney, who broke police lines eight times to surround the royal motorcade, shouting "Good on you, Liz and Phil!"

...leave Sophocles out of this. This is the Antigone of Jean Anouilh, who has as much right as anybody else to take and rework an old story in the public domain. If his Antigone is not the "Tragedy" he designated it, it is (even in the Lewis Galantiere translation) an intriguing, witty, almost moving work, written with the urbane tough-minded brilliance of which only the French seem to have the secret...
