...went to Chicago armed with better makeup artists, nattier dress and more fancy electronic gadgets than ever before. The show hardly lived up to its lavish pressagentry, but TV provided the nation with the most comprehensive coverage ever accorded a national political convention. The TV was occasionally halting, windy and inaccurate, but it had its moments of high drama. More important, it was always there. Creepie-peepies and walkie-talkies manned by hard-running TV reporters−notably ABC's Ed Morgan, CBS's Dick Hottelet, NBC's Merrill Mueller−peered, poked and pried into...

For this much of the credit goes to the marvelous chorus of avenging Furies, whose frightening makeup, snakepit writhings and almost surrealistic dancing were worthy even of Dante's Inferno. The play itself is a real suspense thriller, with the outcome in doubt. It builds up to the theatre's first trial by jury, a device that is still proving useful to dramatists 2500 years later...

Slated to be a fort night's guest of the British Inter-Parliamentary Union, Comrade Furtseva, accompanied by her daughter Svetlana, 14, overflowed with gratitude for her invitation, glowingly lauded the growing affinity between the U.S.S.R. and the country of "Newton, Shakespeare and Byron...
