...with some--though not all--of the other major roles, the difficulties of the play reassert themselves. Bryan Falk's Claudius appears unnecessarily stiff. Certainly the King should be regal, but that need not restrict the actor who portrays him to the single tone level and rate of delivery. Somewhat the same is true of Robert Jordan, in the part of Laertes. He tends to speak too fast to let his lines be readily understood. Lisa Rosenfarb, the Queen, happily avoids these mistakes.

President Eisenhower journeyed to Philadelphia last week on a mission: to reassert his belief that the Big Four conference at Geneva was merely a first step toward peace, offering little more than a friendlier international climate in which diplomats can begin work on the actual problems of the cold war. It was the President's intent to warn the U.S. and its allies against premature relaxation of the posture of strength that made the "Spirit of Geneva" possible in the first place...
