...without instrumentalities, force without form, spirit without substance. They became, in a word, gods. Or did they? On paper, the answer to this question would seem to nix the picture's intellectual respectability once and for all, but on the screen it makes King Kong look like an organ grinder's monkey, and will probably have the most skeptical scientist in the audience clutching wildly for his atomic pistol...

Perhaps the virtues of both plans might be attained by combining them into one great interlocking directorate. This new institution, the Harvard Dramatic Organ, could prevent recalcitrant individualists from forming new "out-caste" groups, simply by scheduling some spectacle, say Aida, at the same time as the out-caste performance of Oedipus, which would not have the benefit of sets. With the new emphasis on harmony and unity, all kinds of wonders could...
