...Spiral. Since World War II, Foster has held five major Government jobs, ranging from Under Secretary of Commerce (1946-48) to Deputy Secretary of Defense (1951-53). He is thoroughly familiar with both peaceful and military uses of atomic energy: since 1955 he has been vice president of Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp., which is spending millions in development of nuclear fuels, and in 1958 he headed a U.S. delegation to the U.S.Soviet conference in Geneva that futilely attempted to develop a system for preventing surprise attacks.

At Orestes' seeming death, a clever display of Sophoclean theatricality, her hopes are dashed only to spiral into joy when her brother reveals he is alive in the famed recognition scene. Up to this point, Electra has been a kind of female Hamlet except that her griefs lie all without. After this point, she and Orestes dispatch Clytemnestra and Aegisthus with all the aplomb of Chicago gangsters...
