...familiar succession of events came painfully alive in the mimed drama. Jesus wiping the blood from his face, writhing under the lash, stumbling beneath the weight of the cross, sweating with the pain of the nails, looked disconcertingly human. In all this abrasive immediacy, the mystery of God incarnate was largely lost, but the gain in impact was obviously a revelation to viewers. Last week, as BBC tallied up the mass of mail, Producer Michael Reddington reported that "all of it was enthusiastic, except for a few stuffy clergymen who couldn't be expected to approve...
Adult platypuses are set in their ways, so Fleay decided to catch young ones and condition them to human company before committing them to The Bronx. During the breeding season, female platypuses dig long tunnels into the banks of Australian streams, and lay their soft eggs in leaf-lined chambers at the ends.

They begin to come out of their burrows in January and start life on their...

Epic is plainly what Moviemaker Lichtman hoped to achieve-a sort of Europead elaborated out of the decisive events and determining attitudes of World War II. He missed the mark, but with the assistance of Director...
...anything for you to fight for"; resists until one day, in flight before the American advance, he begs for food at a concentration camp, and sees at last that, in effect if not in intention, he is no better than the brute who runs the gas chamber. Both destroy human life for no reason except that they are told to; both are brothers under the swastika...
