This holding fire is not cowardice or even restraint, for the play is not nearly so interested in ideas as in its people. Reddish remarks pass current, but they develop the characters, not the characters them. Bishop Holden, champion of the old order, although a little sententious, is not made to look ridiculous; Martin Paterson, champion of the new, is as non-chalant as that genial Communist, Earl Browder, and gladly abandons his lectures...
Thoroughly wedded to his work, Artist Saint is in his early 50's, likes to give studio visitors bits of brightly colored glass, potters nervously about his workrooms with sparse reddish hair on end and reddish-grey beard wagging, continuously jots down memoranda, hopes someday to "write the whole Bible in living colors," works with unceasing self-criticism to see that his craftsmanship is perfect, his meanings clear.

Less docile under criticism than the businessmen of the drug business were the scientists responsible for the purity and usefulness of commercialized drugs. Among those who resented criticism of their products was Dr. George Fults Reddish. Grandson, son and brother of physicians, Dr. Reddish studied chemistry and bacteriology, got a job with U. S.

"The Lord Is My Shepherd. . . ." For ten minutes Chaplain Montgomery gave the mourners his best. Then Patrick J.

...extending far back into the Stone Age. After clearing the Eleventh Level with gratifying results (TIME, March 18, 1935), Digger Charles Bache proceeded with the Twelfth Level, dated at 4000 B. C. Here were massive walls coated with plaster, earliest known use of lime, and much pottery decorated with reddish geometrical designs, presumably left by "The Painted Pottery Peoples" who first overran India, Persia and Mesopotamia about 6000 B. C. A sharply emerging concept of personal property was indicated by clay seals. One seal portrayed a huge, vulture-like bird hovering over a stag, another a man and woman cowering...
