...veneration of rationality was the special myth of modern man. The world view created by the enthronement of reason included a universal belief in individualism and competition; now that myth is dying. Faith in science and technology has given way to fear of their consequences; traditional institutions and even authority itself are distrusted and often detested. The cultural revolution of the '60s that emphasized Dionysian rather than Apollonian virtues will continue into...

Undertone of Alarm. In most of its negotiations, Moscow is placing heavy emphasis on trade and barter. The reason is plain: the whole East Bloc is suffering from a severe shortage of consumer goods as well as hard currency to buy them.

...pampered doll to an independent being. In Hedda Gabler, he examines a woman who has totally left the doll's house in spirit, but who still occupies it out of social convention, a woman trying to "keep house" with desperate calm while undergoing an inner earthquake. One reason that the present production seems so fresh is that Hedda's plight is seen from Hedda's angle of vision. The ultraneurotic Hedda has always been seen from a man's angle of vision and caters to the male notion that a woman only has to be made...
