...Canal Zone-establishing treaty with the U.S. on the 18th, liberation from Spain on the 28th. Last November Panamanian nationalists twice made bloody attempts to invade the Canal Zone and plant the Panamanian flag there. The following month President Eisenhower agreed that the flag should indeed fly as "visual evidence that Panama does have titular sovereignty" over the U.S.-occupied Zone, but the House of Representatives voted a resolution against letting the Panamanian flag be flown in the Zone. Last week, with Congress adjourned and another November looming, Ike ruled that Panama's flag of red, white and blue...
...octopus seems, superficially, to be judging the visual world around it as a dog or human would. But when its gravity-detecting statocyst is removed, it becomes virtually helpless. Apparently its system of telling an object's orientation is to keep its two eyes level, which it does with the help of the statocyst. If this organ is lost, the eyes get out of level, and the octopus no longer knows which way is up -or, for that matter, down. Humans and other higher vertebrates are not handicapped in this way. Their more elaborate brains make allowance...

And he is not afraid to adopt a simple, symmetrical Renaissance blocking when this can support the situation of a scene. Take, for instance, the meeting of the Triumvirs (II, ii)--the ancient equivalent...
...spirit, and in both instances Bergman obviously relishes the idea of feminine superiority. His actors, as usual, are excellent. And his direction of the camera is inspired-the long, slow opening scene in the photography studio, several minutes of wordless but pregnant silence, is a wonderful set piece of visual exposition. Bergman has said more important things than he says in this picture, but he has seldom said anything in a more vigorous and suitable style...
