...storyteller Brother Blue, a great choice to play narrator John Gower, appeals well at first. Yet each time he comes on stage he affects the same position, demeanor, voice and gestures until his idiosyncrasies become grating and tiresome. Pericles, played by Ben Halley Jr. mimics a stiff operatic James Earl Jones, a stunning figure with fine diction, but his manner is too rigidly classical and neither dramatic nor human. Sandra Shipley as Thaisa plays her role with quiet understanding and control. With only a few lines, she surmounts Pericles as the family's core. Jeannie Affelder '83 as Marina speaks...

He added, "After we took a shot their guards would break for our goal and if the shot was blocked they would be in great position. Twice...

This time there was no simple sentence that meant "guilty" or "innocent," no terse phrase that decreed a statute "unconstitutional" or "constitutional." Yet the 1,000 words that Chief Justice Earl Warren read off to the crowded Supreme Court chamber one day last week released a powerful tide of law that will change the social face of the South before it has rolled to its farthest reach. A year ago the court decreed Negro segregation unconstitutional in public schools of the U.S. Now, after long consideration of pleas by Negro and Southern white lawyers, of advisory briefs from the Department...
