...fact, much of the dialogue is confined to Italian or supposedly expressive animal noises. There is an excuse at least for the former: the play is set in a Gulf Coast village populated largely by Sicilians (all of whom manage to wander on stage at one time or another). One of these immigrants (Maureen Stapleton) is a young widow, pathologically devoted to the memory of her husband. The story revolves around her emergence from a sterile world of false idealism into Williams' "real" world of animal love and passionate emotion. When Serafina Delle Rose's belief in the perfection...
...Jenkins splashed ashore with the Engineers on D-day at Lingayen Gulf. He landed in Japan later in 1945-"just a few days after MacArthur," stayed there in the U.S. occupation. In 1949, having already served one extra hitch with the Eighth Army, it seemed impossible to re-enlist on a permanent peacetime basis. Army regulations normally set the maximum re-enlistment age at 35, plus the years already spent in federal service. Jenkins was 27 years short of qualifying...
...there, as many scientists insist, an unbridgeable gulf between modern science and revealed religion? From Pope Pius XII last week came an earnest, carefully documented answer: no. In the latest physics and astronomy, said the Pope, "true science discovers God in an everincreasing degree-as though God were waiting behind every door." In particular, he told the Pontifical Academy of Sciences,* the proofs of God's existence which St. Thomas Aquinas advanced in the 13th Century are constantly being buttressed anew by the discoveries of science...
Across the Gulf. "What is the world scene as presented to us today? Mighty forces armed with fearful weapons are baying at one another across a gulf which neither wishes and both fear to cross, but into which they may tumble and drag each other to their common ruin. On the one side stand all the armies of Soviet Russia and their Communist satellites, agents and devotees. On the other are the Western democracies, with their far superior resources, at present only partly organized, gathering together around the U.S. Now there is no doubt on which side we stand...
...most charts the speed of the Gulf Stream is given as about one knot. After making 1,200 GEK readings, the scientists on the Albatross decided that the stream has been underrated. Between Cape Hatteras and the Grand Bank, it often flows as fast as four or five knots. It also squirms erratically through the Atlantic. Ships steaming through it are sometimes moving with the current and sometimes against it. So their navigators put the average speed of the stream much...
