...licensing of labs. Half a dozen other states require that the director of a lab must have some professional qualifications, but he need not be on the spot; this is an invitation for unscrupulous physicians to take well-paid figurehead positions.

Playing Hamlet in Moscow in 1955, Scofield drew 16 curtain calls, the last three with the whole audience chanting his name in unison.
