...chain is going on to new triumphs: adding an average of one new outlet every day to its 2,500 in the U.S., and hanging on every one a sign reading OVER 12 BILLION SOLD to commemorate an event that occurred during August. Executives at world headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., a Chicago suburb, have not bothered to investigate who ate the 12 billionth hamburger, when or in which restaurant, because they know that its consumption constituted only an ephemeral milestone. In four months or less, given the current intensity of the nation's hamburger hunger, those signs will...

Jason is no longer the young, virile hero, wandering aimlessly through the Hellenic world so absolutely self-confident. He is a king without a country, a thinker with no outlet for his ideals. His cold, calculating mind obliterates any feelings he might have for Medeia or his two children. Pride and vanity urge him to gain Corinth. Jason has already won Pyripta's hand as Euripides's Medeia begins. But the greatest beauty of Jason and Medeia lies in its concentration on the imaginatively conceived contest for the princess of Corinth (an event which never occurred in ancient versions...
