...Pelagia, the Harlot, by undergraduates David Cole and Ronald Perera deserves to be attacked on the same grounds, but much more harshly. If the first opera had a plot with only half a dramatic issue, this one side-steps cheaply a powerful moral question. If the Daunsers exerted a shallow dramatic impact, this opera is simply not a drama, and its production made it all the more a sham...
Jackson and Szili decided to cover up the killing because, by Szili's account, they feared "international repercussions." They recruited help from other officers and some enlisted men, brought Lopez's body back inside the base, buried it in a shallow grave lined with quicklime. But word of the shooting later leaked out at a cocktail party, and the body...
Perpetual Truce. But then Allah responded to the sheik's prayers-belatedly, but in overwhelming measure. Two vast oilfields have been tapped by British drilling teams, one at Murban in the sandy interior, the other in the shallow coastal waters of the gulf. Conservative oilmen estimate Abu Dhabi's proven oil reserves at about 3.8 billion bbl., which at present royalty rates would return some $1.4 billion over the years. Ridiculous, say other experts: on the basis of latest discoveries, reserves may be as great as 38 billion...
Shortly after noon Tuesday, Thresher was 30 miles southeast of Portsmouth. With the rescue ship Skylark standing by, the submarine's klaxon blared, and she buried her nose in the Atlantic for her first series of test dives-all shallow. She performed perfectly, and at 9 p.m. Tuesday headed for deep water 220 miles off Cape Cod. Next morning, with Skylark bobbing above and maintaining constant contact with sonar and telephone, Thresher glided through a set of medium-depth dives. Her skipper, Lieut. Commander John Wesley Harvey, 35, decided that she was ready for the maximum test. None...
...Knowledge of Death. Before Rome, Greene used to paint frozen tableaux that mirrored modern existentialist ideas. He trapped his figures-as in Sartre's No Exit-in shallow doorless and windowless spaces, amputated their legs, and left them relying on crutches. The Burial (see color) shows a legless living cadaver sprawled in a coffin, stifling back a scream with his hand-a scream that comes from "the pain of knowledge of that death in life which we begin experiencing early," Greene explains. Behind the coffin lid, a mourner gestures upward as if in hope. But his candle remains unlit...
