...quite wisely let the play run close to its original length of three and a half hours, and his idea about the fifteenth century pronounciation of "Protest-ant" and "nation-alism," wherever it came from, seems positively inspired. Caldwell Titcomb's musical score, which ranges from a shepherd's melody to a full-dress motet, is not only decorative but functional. In the epilogue it takes care of the wind, lightning, thunder, and clock chimes that Shaw ordered...
...Camillo Berlocchi, shepherd of the flock in the Umbrian village of Vingone, brooded long and bitterly on the day the results of the Italian elections were announced. All over the land before the voting, "sacred notices" were posted warning Christians that "all are excommunicated and apostate" who support the Reds or "those parties which make common cause with Communism."

Begrudgingly, the British found themselves treating him like a head of state...
...manuscripts known as the "Dead Sea Scrolls," found almost nine years ago by a shepherd in a Jordan cave (TIME, Sept. 5, 1955), have raised some haunting questions. Is there any relation between the first Christians and a sect of Jews who founded a religious community at Qumrân in Jordan a hundred years before Christ? Is there any relation between Jesus Christ and the Qumrân community's "Teacher of Righteousness"? These questions constitute the great cliff hanger of contemporary Christian studies. Last week fresh hints came from John Allegro, a lecturer in Semitic Philology...
