Although visually engrossing throughout, Incident suffers from textual dullness at first but soon builds up steam. Four of the performances manage to convey fully rounded characters: Joseph Wiseman's intense and anguished psvchiatrist, Harold Scott's buffeted and sullen gypsy, Ira Lewis' adolescent boy (who disappoints only when he speaks), and Will Lee's old Jew (who utters not a word but seems to carry all of Jewish history in his aged frame...
...assigning individual scholars to one or two books apiece, the editors hope to avoid some of the pitfalls that plague other modern versions. Bibles done by committee, such as the still unfinished New English Bible, often muffle their textual accuracy in tin-eared, corporate prose; one-man translations-Monsignor Ronald Knox's Roman Catholic version, for example-are often pleasing to read, but their eccentricities and errors make scholars wince. The credentials of the Anchor translators, who include seven Catholics, 15 Protestants and five Jews, are beyond dispute. Sweden's Bo Reicke, 50, who did The Epistles...
...base divisions. As mentioned, the study of history can profitably be related to psychology or sociology, the study of literature to history. For example, a person who has taken a course like Hum 6 in high school would still do well to take a more sophisticated course combining the textual with the historical approach. In short, the basic four course requirement aims toward attainment of what is in our opinion the primary goal of Gen Ed; the substitution of upper level Gen Ed courses helps to fill in this first goal and aims toward an important secondary...
...middle ages-the time of logic-chopping commentaries on sacred texts. The letter to Nixon abounded in careful placings in context, the drawing of fine distinctions, the painstaking elucidation of meaning-in short, commentary on the ambiguities of Holy Writ. When this latest effort was added to the mountainous textual exegesis of the infamous two sentences already produced by the Disciples and by the Heretics, it was clear that never in the political history of words had so many owed so much...
Surviving papers, Nazi or otherwise, lined up so meekly that Hitler himself complained: "It is no great pleasure to read 15 newspapers all having nearly the same textual content." Turning out such dupe sheets could have been no great pleasure either. Twice daily the Ministry of Propaganda sent every paper the Tagesparole, the word for the day, specifying content down to the headlines and the required epithets for Roosevelt ("gangster," "criminal," "madman"). Every level of government sent handouts accompanied by demands that they appear on Page...
