...trouble starts with the role of John Proctor, the farmer who embodies Miller's moral viewpoint and becomes the tragic hero of the play. The part is here entrusted to Don Murray, who does make an earnest attempt. He starts off all right; but as soon as the role begins to make heavier demands, his shortcomings are evident. In his second-act colloquy with the Reverend Hale, Proctor has an exceedingly important remark: "Is the accuser always holy now?" Murray hurries over this so that the idea is all but lost...
...agree that Humanae vitae was, at the very least, a blow that shattered rising expectations for change. The Second Vatican Council had signaled to Catholics that they might have more freedom than they once thought. The crucial Declaration on Religious Freedom (largely the work of American Jesuit John Courtney Murray) stated that religious liberty was a human right-an admission the church had never before made. It was by no means intended to give Catholics carte blanche to disagree with their church, but with Humanae vitae, they...
...artistic director. Little danger of anyone calling Flindt stuffy. The Lesson, his choreographic debut, was a startlingly effective piece about a psychopathic ballet master. Although Flindt has kept the cherished classics like La Sylphide and Napoli well polished, he has introduced the "modern feet" of Paul Taylor and Murray Louis.

Exclaimed T.U.C. Chief Len Murray: "It is the best news for many a long day in Britain." Healey credited the agreement to public exasperation with inflation: "People got sick and tired of being paid in confetti...
Differing with Healey are such key labor leaders as Jack Jones, chief of the Transport and General Workers' Union, and Len Murray, T.U.C. general secretary. They insist that a 5% limit is feasible, provided it is matched by import controls and strict regulation of prices. But the government is opposed to curbs on imports, believing quite rightly that they would only provoke retaliation by other nations and choke off any chance that Britain has of an export-led recovery. Healey also wants to loosen rather than tighten price controls to give British industry sufficient profits to invest more heavily...
