...Maxwell Anderson-Kurt Weill dramatization of the novel Cry, the Beloved Country; Marc Blitzstein's musical version of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes; an S. N.

...Fair Jury." The Communist protest was serious enough to give pause to trial-worn Judge Harold R. Medina. He recessed court for a day to consider the matter. Closer study, however, showed that Carol's diary was not the earth-shaking thing it purported to be.

But the tomb of St. Peter, presumably filled with earth to protect it from invading barbarians, has never been found. Some Protestant scholars have argued that Peter was never in Rome at all. In 1937, when he was Papal Secretary of State, Pius XII became interested in the ancient tombs uncovered by Vatican workers burrowing below ground to check...
