...spasmodic English narration is not always satisfactory. In the Agamemnon portion particularly, the narrative is simply superimposed on the dialogue, with the result that one cannot understand either the Greek or the English. At other times the Greek is momentarily faded out. I think a better solution (if a narrative was necessary at all) would have been to present an English summary at the start of each play and then let the drama go right through in uninterrupted Greek...
...finest portion of the film is the last. For this much of the credit goes to the marvelous chorus of avenging Furies, whose frightening makeup, snakepit writhings and almost surrealistic dancing are worthy even of Dante's Inferno. The play itself is a real suspense thriller, with the outcome in doubt. It builds up to the theatre's first trial by jury, a device that is still proving useful to dramatists 2500 years later...

Studying the Milky Way. Foremost among the problem regions to be studied under optimum conditions for the first time is the center of the earth's own galaxy. That portion of the Milky Way is only partially visible in the Northern Hemisphere for a few hours each night, and then only during summer months. In the Southern Hemisphere, the center of the galaxy moves directly overhead six months of the year. Moreover, the closest galaxies to the Milky Way-the Large and Small Magellenic Clouds, more than 160,000 light-years away, can be seen only from the Southern...
