...seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." It is an interval of cosmic suspense; the hymns of the heavenly hosts are stilled for the only time in all eternity and the seven angels receive from God the seven trumpets which they soon will sound to wake the dead and resume the symbol-choked tumult. The heavens seem empty, and the old earth trembles before its impending doom. It is during this interim, between life and death, that The Seventh Seal takes place...
...better life for Latin Americans, said Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi in Washington last week, is fundamentally up to the Latin Americans. To get it in Argentina, he is demanding hard work, sound money and conditions that attract productive capital.

It was not only that the overage (22) cadet had been a U.S. army private, that he drank, ran up heavy debts and asserted (falsely) that Benedict Arnold was his grandfather. Poe was a poet and a born soldier of misfortune -ill-armed against the world.
