...most important stage work to emerge during the Occupation. It was widely construed as a political allegory, the conflict between Antigone and Creon being viewed as that between the R*esistance and the collaborationists. The French people were divided, however, into those who found the play "fascist" and those who found it "antifascist." Thus Anouilh would seem to have achieved a good deal of the "negative capability" that Keats attributed to Shakespeare. And it is true that Anouilh did not stack the cards strongly in Antigone's favor as Sophocles had; a number of people even stoutly maintain that Creon...

...does not follow, however, that civil rights advocates should permit themselves to be taken in by critics who suggest that America withdraw precipatately from Vietnam. Nor should Dr. King have imputed to President Johnson policy some of the goals held by the Fascist powers in the Spanish Civil War--that is, a desire to "test our latest weapons." Although the Administration's policy may be objectionable for other reasons, such strident rhetoric is not only of doubtful value in rallying Negroes against the present policy, but may alienate moderate whites. Shock tactics will only isolate their proponents in such...
