...mammoth effort. It took 2,900 firms two years to build and equip the Thule station and three years to build a similar station at Clear, Alaska. Both were turned over to NORAD on New Year's Day, 1962. A third station under construction at Fylingdales Moor in England will complete this Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS...
...Irish songs, I'm convinced) have the gift o' th' gab. The performers, too, are ebullient, effervescent, and effusive, a welcome change from the generally sullen mien of the folksinger.

He supposedly spoke French and Spanish fluently, was "proficient in music," turned out at least 300 drawings that were found in his lodgings after his death...
...color cameras as TV prop men bring Birnam Wood-root, leaf and branch-to Dunsinane. Along the brooding battlements of Yugoslavia's 12th century Lovrijenac fortress, the ghost of Hamlet's father spurs his son's revenge; deep in Russia, at Tashkent, the jealous Moor strangles the blameless Desdemona. A marble shard's throw from the Parthenon of Sophocles and Euripides, a Greek Shylock pleads, "Hath not a Jew eyes?" -while halfway round the world, black-jeaned Australian troupers tour the outback by bus, with a crown and a sword or two as their props...
