Vellucci has constantly tried to challenge the new rules session by introducing resolutions after the Thursday deadline, and Belin has consistently objected to Vellucci's irregular procedure...
...Purgatory" is the second Yeats play, and it is done equally well. This is a return to words alone, an exercise in concentrating enormous action into a handful of lines.

Using telescope and spectrograph, Dr. Kraft kept track of the novas' changing temperature, light and motion. After 30 months he was able to prove that at least seven of them are double stars. The two bodies whirl around each other...
