Turning to Group 20, you say it "in the opinion of most is the best young theater group in America." Whether it is or not superior to, say, the five-year-old American Shakespeare Festival is a moot question; but we all recognize it to be a splendid company...
...rate, Shakespeare created his weirdest world--universe, I should perhaps say--in Macbeth. And its words somehow penetrate to the very marrow of one's bones and take possession of one's whole being; Shakespeare here reaches in us the three states he has plumbed so deeply in his characters: the conscious, the sub-conscious, and the unconscious. The last two are states that we today really understand little better than do the characters in the play; the people in Macbeth are constantly baffled (what other play contains such a large proportion of questions?), and so are we. Much...
...time of his invasion. Hoyte became a Hanniphile in 1955 while studying at Cambridge. In 1956 he led a reconnaissance group into the Alps to scout various possible routes, settled on Clapier pass because it fitted most of the meager clues left by the historians.

Shortstop Ed Bressoud plugs a leaky infield, and stubby Catcher Hobie Landrith gives the Giants a holler guy who seems to carry a mitt on one hand and a gavel in the other...
...these are insiders, who are the outsiders and what do they project? Rodman thinks that most abstract artists ride outside and project precious little. "The whole emphasis in art for the past hundred years," he maintains, "has been as much against society as possible. The critics say, 'This is art,' and so the public accepts it. The insider is trying to return to the aim of art in ages past; he is portraying the raw thing-not mere elegance or mere social concepts either. He is totally unconcerned with what kind of figure he cuts in the arena...
