...this sense Babe's interpretation of The Bacchae fits only incompletely, but it is a fascinating, often startlingly valid job of reapplication. Where it doesn't fit, we still have the original. Babe has not been so carried away with the modern parallel as to seriously distort the play, and in the second half he seems to have kept his modernizing to a minimum. Thus the limitation of the fascist parallel--its lack of a modern alternative into which Dionysus can fit--is never fully exposed, because the interpretation is correctly underplayed...

For only in the healing and sometimes illuminating moments of privacy can a man make himself truly fit to live with others...
...like cake, and the limited space inside is pinching tightly. The $34 million reconstruction will move parts of the main facade as much as 88 ft. westward, adding 41 acres of badly needed floor space distributed over seven levels from sub-subbasement to attic. Into the new area will fit conference and committee rooms, 109 offices for Congressmen, a pair of auditoriums seating 400 each, cafeterias and dining rooms seating 1,600 people. Many of the new facilities, including those for eating, are designed to handle tourists who now visit the Capitol at a rate...
