...lonely man with no real personal friends. Maybe a short rest will do him good." Prime Minister Ben-Gurion had enough zeal left last week to take on another opponent. Rising to address the 25th World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem, he poured out a 100-minute torrent of poetic and apocalyptic Hebrew.

Bentley, who is himself taking an active interest in the production, is enthusiastic over the theater's "possibilities." He considers the play "the final statement of Brecht's development," in that it is "the most poetic in a non-cynical way; the most mellow; and, in a way not associated with Brecht, the most delicate. In other words, it is Brecht saying the same things, but with less savagery...
