...other chores, and has not made a good job of it. Although he uses a bare stage, his production is spotted with stage-waits. These will certainly speed up as the run goes on, but even short blackouts make the play a pile of disparate scenes, instead of an unbroken continuity of swiftly-changing action. Mr. Seltzer's blocking has some odd lapses, and falls apart entirely at the end. These final scenes also expose most pitilessly the limitations of his actors, and the concluding Battle of Shrewsbury is the soggiest and most lacklustre carnage ever to empurple the tented...
...such explanations, the fantasies of the television tube are perhaps most truly understood as shadows of a larger drama. The western is really the American morality play, in which Good and Evil, Spirit and Nature, Christian and Pagan fight to the finish on the vast stage of the unbroken prairie. The hero is a Galahad with a six-gun, a Perseus of the purple sage. In his saddlebags he carries a new mythology, an American Odyssey that is waiting for its Homer.

The situation of doubt, says Tillich, is "existential"-that is, inevitably part of the predicament in which man leads his human existence...
...Excuse. In the end, Rozhestvensky produced a feat of logistics perhaps unequaled until World War II: an unbroken journey of 4,500 miles from Madagascar to the coast of Cochin China, despite 39 stops to repair tow lines, more than 70 engine breakdowns. And it was with oxlike fortitude that he brought his two wallowing columns into battle off Tsushima (literally Donkey's Ears Island). Maneuvering for position, Togo took his column through a perilous column turn and closed with nearly 500 guns blazing. The Russian ships, which had damaged three major enemy ships, failed to score a single...
