...tragedy by George Buchner. Although many of the lines and the occurrences in its twenty-nine scenes are ambiguous and open to varied interpretation, it's pretty clear that Buchner was a social critic who didn't like what society was doing to mankind. Woyzeck himself is the guinea pig used by the characters Buchner hated: most specifically, the army represented by a vicous and stupid Captain, and misguided science, represented by a hack doctor. Because of economic pressure, Woyzeck must allow himself to be exploited in order to live. His sanity rests on his faith in Marie, the mother...
...beliefs as to modernize the industry. That nationalization will reform British steel is doubtful, but private industry has done little in the 13 years since steel was denationalized, and few would disagree with the Observer that "British steel is a mess." Now, even in the British domestic market, imported pig iron, at $53.20 a ton, undersells the local stuff...

The pig was taboo from earliest times because it was worshiped by primitive peoples who also sacrificed it to their idols and ate it in sacred meals.

So now the honeymooners chartered a yacht and sailed away among the islands, feasting on roast pig and gazing at the mushroom clouds...
...children's classic about the physician who talks to animals, as a $12 million 20th Century-Fox musical extravaganza, starring Rex Harrison, Samantha Eggar, Tony Newley, and a cast of 1,147 other humans and 1,500 beasts. To play the featured role of Gub-Gub the pig, he will need 40 trained piglets (because they grow out of the part so fast). The fabled two-headed pushmi-pullyu will be re-created by two llamas, artfully superimposed on film back to back. Under the circumstances, what could be more natural than for Jacobs to cast Castle Combe...
