...then death must be its comrade. In the last acts Ibsen moves his characters to a health resort in the mountains--a look forward to Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain where on a peak high above the "real" world, Rubek and Irene are swept away in the mist and snow of a sudden storm. From below, in the bourgeois flatland, resounds the simple voice of Maja in a childish freedom song which is both mocking...
...Selective Service Act stipulates that board members mist live in the country that the aboard serves and the internal regulations state that they must live within the area. (This requirement was abolished by executive order on September 2, 1970.) Yet only one member of Collin's Board lived in his area, and the chairman lived in another county.

You see the mist and gas. You say, 'Hey -what's that?' and then they are shooting all over the place. You put your hands on your head and go to the wall if you don't get shot. Guys are retching in front of you and going into convulsions. If they go into convulsions, they get shot for moving...
