...19th Century proves a useful anachronism, lifting the play out of semibarbaric shadow without exposing it to too modern a glare. And the self-mocking, self-pitying, sardonic, introspective Prince is in many ways a perfect 19th-Century hero: a child-as he was actually the great-grandfather-of Byronism.

Last week a heartening number and variety of people dared to look directly at the atom's horrid glare. Rose-tinted goggles were still preferred, but at least the world was no longer hiding its head in the atomized dirt of New Mexico and Hiroshima...
