...Murder in the Cathedral", while leaving one a little confused over its general aim and import, at the same time delights through the rich variety of its mingled intellectual, poetic, and dramatic offerings. The theme is that of a proud man. Thomas a Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury, seeking and winning martyrdom. But interlarded with this central stuff are a chorus of sombre monks and another of wailing women who at one point rival 'the witches of "Macbeth' in their catalogue of the disgusting; paeans of religious fervor including an intellectual indictment of atheism; and, most daringly ingenious...

Snow which for weeks has blanked the Pacific Northwest, the Dakotas and Minnesota, came...

Formerly assistant coach at Princeton, John Skillman is not only an expert teacher at the game, but also an active and expert player. In the past four years he has won the national professional championship twice, and was a tenacious runner-up in the other...
