...Britain's impatience for a summit on any terms, Adenauer's quibbles with Britain and quarrels with his own party, De Gaulle's insistent demand for big-power status. But serious headlines, based on the anxieties of the moment, are apt to obscure basic trends that move more slowly-slower trends that justified a more optimistic outlook in July...
...move put an end to the Guild as a craft union of working newsmen, but it did provide some desperately needed muscle. In 1937 it boldly engineered nine strikes, called twelve more in 1938. It wrote its first national contract (with the United Press) in 1938, and by 1941 had pushed membership past 16,000. It also ended one of the sorriest chapters in Guild history: domination by Communist sympathizers. Attracted by the Guild's obvious potential, Red-liners moved in soon after its formation, eventually controlled the national offices. After a bitter fight in 1941, anti-Communists forced...
...major discovery of postwar oceanographers was that huge currents flow far below the surface; often these currents move faster than their surface counterparts. One such discovery came in 1951, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent a ship west of the Galapagos Islands to experiment with a Japanese technique of fishing for deep-swimming tuna. The scientists were surprised to see the fish lines drifting eastward while their ship was carried westward on the well-known equatorial surface current. The next year the Service's Townsend Cromwell established the reason: a hitherto unsuspected current, deep below the surface...

...Events move swiftly and suddenly in this play, almost as fast as those of Macbeth. Over and above this, much can be done to cover up the structural shortcomings by maintaining a rapid and unbroken flow. Much has been done in this regard in the current Stratford production, under the direction of Jack Landau. Landau has wisely allowed only one intermission. And, using a somewhat trimmed text, he has on occasion overlapped the scenes; for instance, the Capulets' ball gets under way before Romeo and his pals on the street outside have finished their say. The resulting production...
