...mistaking the impeccable technique, no ignoring the tense, if quiet, drama being played out within every frame. The America that Wyeth paints is only superficially the America of today; basically, it is a timeless place with timeless preoccupations. The long, long past of man and his earth is implicit in every Wyeth painting: his trees seem weighted by memories, his rooms are filled with ghosts...
Telstar brought the pomp and pageantry, and even a searching closeup of the Pope's joyful if weary expression. Yet the true awe of last week's opening of Vatican Council II lay in seeing and sensing the variety, implicit power, and sheer numbers of the bishops, patriarchs and abbots who paraded into St. Peter's to start history's biggest religious council...

Professor Beadle's reaction of awe in the face of the evolutionary process befits a man whose contribution to science has shown that very creativeness. We may wonder, then, if such a conception as his admits of the "retired God" that was found implicit in it (by Professor Beadle himself?). For do we not see in the evolutionary process a creativeness of an exceedingly high order...
