...Responsory(1952) by Rev. Russell Woolen ranked highest among the contemporary works. Taken from the Matins of Holy Thursday, it is unmistakably oriented toward the solemnity of Catholic worship. It is rather his modernistic freedom of line and rhythm that can suggest, without limitation, a style that was already perfect for hundred years...

The trouble is that nothing very interesting or moving happens in the town. There is neither humor nor tragedy in Pompey's rather empty Head-not even a good hangover...
