1t seems some Soviet agrOnO-
mists, who are therefore biOlO-
gists, and therefore geneticists,
have been Out-Burbanking Bur-
bank. And not content with that,
in line with the Soviet dialec-
teal materialist outlook on life,
which believes that everything
is of one piece, that all natural
laws are eventually movable
and consistent, they have fig
ured' out a philosophy which ex-
plains these phenomena.
They call it creative, or
Soviet Darwinism. Darwin's
theories allowed for mutations,
or sports" They claim that by
controlling t n e environment
these mutations can be induced
Just as the wizard" Burbank
did. If this holds true for plant
life, then it holds true for ami
NAL life.
They point out that the Men
del Morgan school of chrome
some and genes genetics is all
very fine in its way, but where
does it get you? You can predict
the color of the eyes of fruit
flies, but can you change them?
To pink, for instance. Or to see
further, which might be of some
practical use to fruit fly.
Whereas any stock breeder
knows a good mich COW will
give more milk if it gets an en-
riched diet, and that cows Off
spring will also give more milk,
but not if it is underfed.
Well, I'm not qualified to be
final judge on these technical
matters - but 1 do think they
are worth studying by scientist
and layman alike. The laws of
nature can be learned, I say;
they're not mystical and in
Scrutable.
We just have to keep learn
ing to discover the secrets of
the universe, and there's no use
getting hysterical just because
somebody discovers something
that doesn't agree with the gen.

Anderson is good
not terrifc>' Medeo

his poetry doesn't have the quits
and inspiration in it to carry
the theme as it should be carried.
The story of Medea is a bloody
narrative about a woman scorned
and thrown over by her hus-
band after he brought her to
Greece with him.
The story is out of the stream
of truly classic Greek tragedy
where circumstances beyond the
control of the really noble per-
son drive him inexorably to a
tragic end. Media could have
hoped off her bloody treadmill
at several points, But refused to
do so.
In that respect Euripides was
surprisingly modern. He was al
so modern in his perception of
human motivations, especially
jealousy, and focusing attention
on the fact that women e hui
man beings, not merely chattels.

THE boys who get in for free

Judith AnderSon's performance
in ''Medea" is the most terrific
thing that ever hit the American
theatre.
Maybe distance is disenchant-
ing. But from where l sat, well
back in the balcony, Miss An
dersOn was competent and i'm
preSsive, but she was consider
ably short of being terrific.
There was, in fact, something of
the ham in her performance
but that may have been more in
her Interpretation of the role,
which, it seemed to me, stripped
Medea of her dignity and awful
grandeur and made her some
thing of a screaming fishwife.
Part of the fault for that, too,
goes to Robinson LETTERS, who
made this daptation, free one,

sic by Euripides He has re-
tanned the essential story. but
