...dawn, a week later, "Kihl" Kihlstedt jeeped 60 miles south, over chaparral-covered sand, amidst flapping egrets, toward the low mountain. Next morning he climbed 1,600 feet to the top. The view filled him with awe. The rust-colored lode he saw was later described as "the richest concentration of iron ore on the face of the earth." Cerro Bolívar, as the mountain was named, is estimated to contain half a billion tons of top-grade (63.8% pure) iron...

In cutting the four-hour play to less than two hours, Scripters Mildred Alberg and Tom Sand chose to drop entire scenes and such characters as the gravediggers and Fortinbras (whose lines were given to Horatio), rather than make internal cuts in the speeches. Only one of Hamlet's soliloquies ("How all occasions do inform against me . . .") landed in the wastebasket. Twelve minutes were devoted to commercials for Sponsor Hallmark Cards, which has twice sponsored Menotti's Christmas...
