...Committee on Science in General Education was, of course, well aware of this fact, and one feels that what the report would really like to do is to create an interest in science, or at least a respect for the work of the scientist. One of the main problems facing science in America is that the well educated non-scientists, on the one hand, tend to look upon science as an inferior intellectual pursuit, one that neglects the really important things in life, while the less highly educated view the scientist as either a fabulous magician-type...
Staged by Michael Murray, the production has clarity and pace and a disarming respect for O'Casey. Yet the actors, particularly John Heffernan in the role of the poet, seem more eager to present a "compelling" characterization than to act out their parts in harmony.

...integration in Virginia can only be praised. The attitude in Arlington County, across the Potomac from Washington, D.C., or in Norfolk cannot, though, be compared to that in Little Rock or places in the "deep south," for the state of Jefferson and Lee has always retained some aura of respect for law. But the sequence of last month's events in Virginia may encourage the southern moderates who wish to comply with the Supreme Court decision of 1954 and who want to keep their schools open rather than battle at Armageddon. Moderates in Atlanta and Charleston and other centers...
