to related catastrophe. Pom
dering the mysteries of our
future, we could not help but
ponder the mysteries Of our
past-wondering why all this
wickedneSs started - and
where it will end-and when,
in the long calendar Of evil,
this particular primal eldest
curse" first began to work its
spell. But this latter, bitter
wondering is futile, a blind
alley-and l hope to show why
this is so.
Greek Heritage"
Providentially timed as an
anOdyne for grief, the first is
sue of a beautiful new quar-
terly, "Greek Heritage"
came to hand, sponsored by
distinguished patrons includ-
ing Mortimer Adler and Spy
ros Skouras.
The hours l have spent with
Greek Heritage" were sat-
iSfying, gratifying, education
al, and reVelatory.
But l hear you asking
whether this patrician book
magazine, or magazine-book,
provides answers. Does it
throw any light-even obscure
ly, after the fashion of the
Oracle Of Delphi-on why our
times are out of joint?
At the end of this review,
! shall say why, in my opin-
ion, it not only does not, but
cannot, give us the answers
we seek-why classical
Greece, for all her spiritual
richness, intellectual bril-
lance, and artistic genius,
cannot help America toward
comprehension and solution
of her present sordid trou-
bles.
SumptuOus Issue
But first, my pleasant duty
as a reviewer is to tell you
about some of the things you
will find in this first sump-
tuous issue Of "Greek Herr
tage."
l said l found it satisfy
ing
l love names, and 1t Is a
paradise of wonderful Greek
names. The very first article,
on the magnificent Dherveni
Crater ("crater" meaning, in
this usage, urn or jar, is by
Haralambos MakarOnas, trans
lated by Kriton Hourmusiades,
and illustrated by the photo
graphs of Spires Tsavdaro-
glou. The charmingly inform
alive article about the island
of MykonoS is by Andreas
Karandonis, with photographs
by Arts Konstantinidis. (The
fine study of Furniture of
Classical Greece" is by the
internationally celebrated,
English-born designer of neo-
classic Greek furniture who
bears one Of my favorite
names in any language: Ter
ence Harold Robsjokm- Glib
bingS.)
And gratifying =.
NOiOE hOUVSrdPhS
l seriously wonder whether
any more beautiful color pho
tograph was ever taken, or
more Stunningly reproduced,
than Tsavdaroglou'S picture
of the Dhervani Crater-this
masterpiece of gilded, silver
inlaid bronze gently
unearthed near Thessalonike
and probably dating from the
time of Alexander the Great.
1t was esthetically gratifying,
too, if less exciting, to note
how H. A. Lindsay'S short sto-
ry about modern Greece, "a

suddenly scared like a rocket
in, literally, its last line.

Shroud of Secrecy Lifted on Launching Of POlaris Missiles

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. uP - The Defense Department has lift ed it's 29-month-old shroud Of secrecy on submarine launchings of the PolarlS missile and the Navy and neWsmen are pleased.
 The news blackout was imposed in March, 1861, when submarine launched Polaris rockets were having numerous problems. Four submarines had logged ten suc- cesses and eight failures.
 The Defense Department said merely that military missiles launched away from public view" would not be reported.
 Of the Al Polaris missiles launch ed from submarines during the in- formation blackout, B were suc- cessful.
 The Navy was frustrated because it could not report officially on a program that was progressing well.
 Combined insistence by the Navy and reporters resulted in removal of the ban.
 With the lifting of the restriction, Friday, the Navy reported that 45 of 61 Polaris launchings by F submarines have been successful.
