...classic one over "the bewildering mesh of God." over why the innocent must suffer with the guilty, how leaders must move forward stricken with guilt. It is a searching enough theme to build a play around, though scarcely a key theme for a play about Moses. But the real trouble is that Fry offers so little to build with-neither real dramatic bricks nor real psychological stones, only philosophic shards and ethical bits of glass. A story that, told as vivid theater, might blaze with Biblical fire, seems quite unwarmed. A story that, recounted as high drama, might seem grandly...

The hub, a tension ring 63 ft. across and weighing 25 tons, is dramatically suspended in midair and open to the sky above the central pool.

Inserted into the upper or lower jaw, the magnets attract other small magnets placed in the overlying denture to keep them in place.

She had apparently slithered under her wire-mesh roof. At week's end an unhappy posse at the Bronx Zoo was still scouting the 250-acre compound. They hoped that Penelope had not ended up in the Bronx River or the Jersey flats. Cecil just scratched his stomach and fed his ego. Where once there were two, he was now the only platypus in captivity-outside Tasmania and Australia...
