...will comment on the shocking colonial inflation rate, and Environment on the wasteful use of farm land. Medicine plans to cover the smallpox epidemic then raging in America. One of the current bestsellers to be reviewed in the Books section: Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Since advertising was then as now a part of almost all magazines, this special issue will also contain a limited number...
Also in the cast are the studious camp follower Roman Polanski (playing a peasant) and the late Vittorio De Sica, who, even acting and primping as broadly as he does, lends the proceedings a few fleeting moments of dignity.

A trinity of profound, if currently unfashionable values-God, country and family. Not for a single moment during Juno and the Paycock is one unaware that Roman Catholicism, Ireland and the Boyles' intense awareness of themselves as an embattled entity have shaped the people that we see before us. Not for the good, necessarily. O'Casey had as sharp an eye as James Joyce for the foibles of his race, though it sometimes brimmed with...
