...these regulations every couple must see the chaplain. The chaplain (Protestant, Catholic or Jewish, according to the couple's request) asks every possible pertinent question. How did they meet? Any previous marriages or children? How much sex experience does each have? How much education? How do their families feel about it? How do they view the responsibilities of marriage? If the chaplain approves, he advises the airman's unit commander whether the marriage should be permitted, delayed or discouraged (and few British parsons or registrars will marry them without the commanding officer's certificate of approval...

His first meeting left him cold, but later, when he attended the baptism of a friend whom Graham had converted, Potter was deeply moved. At a Communist mass meeting in Reading Market Square, Potter turned Red faces redder with the announcement that he had turned Christian...
...excellent production of Macbeth is marred slightly by a very understandable trait: invention. Since next to Hamlet, Macbeth contains the largest number of familiar episodes and speeches, any company that approaches it is challenged constantly, and most feel the need to perform each moment better than ever before. Or, at least, differently. Although the Old Vic creation is always interesting, it is occasionally a bit obvious, and calls unwanted attention to details by superfluous inventiveness...
