...MASTER BUILDER (Caedmon). No single drama of Ibsen's is more Freudian, and hence accessible to the modern mind. The play is a situation tragedy, and the symbols bleed. Solness, the artist-builder-husband, is vile in his self-absorption, and pitiable as he watches the tide of his creativity ebb. His wife is stifling and stifled.

Given the intransigence of many Southern juries, often nothing more than a fuzzy, fragile bit of Reconstruction legislation stands between segregationist killers and total freedom. Last week the U.S. Supreme Court moved to sharpen the focus - and the teeth - of those 19th century laws in decisions that dealt with two of the South's most wanton racist slayings: the June 1964 murder of three civil...
