...Today there is no conflict between management and labor. Management has simply thrown in the sponge and adopted the motto: "If you can't beat them, join them." The closed shop smacks of ostracism if not outright violence. No skilled artisan wishes to become a mere tool, the slave of the type of ex-con who has lately wormed himself into labor leadership...
...space slave-one of TIME'S prophets -should have said: "Have words, cannot unravel." This nitwit lit crit dissembled a vile mess of subliminal nonsense to suggest that Aldous Huxley is a sub-pessimistic old fuddy-daddy. He treated Huxley's prognostications, fulfilled or unfulfilled, with the strangled insincerity of a man who likes to say "say it ain't so," so he says it ain't.

Amid outcries about freedom, characters die as if it were the last act of Hamlet; amid tirades against power, slave girls uncover and Caligula runs wild. If there is a unifying note in all this it is that the characters, whether male or female, slave or free, vile or virtuous, slain or spared, are orators one and all. So much oratory has its touches of eloquence, so much theatricalism its flashes of theater. But the play as a whole is lumberingly lurid, and Alvin Epstein's Claudius offers some adroit stammering that is more effective than anyone else...
