L'Encyclopédie Sonore
Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, has returned to his kingdom of Epirus with Andromache. Hector's widow, and her little son among his captives. He has fallen in love with Andromache. The Greeks, alarmed lest Hector's son should grow up to lead the revenge of the Trojans, have sent Orestes to urge that Pyrrhus fulfil his vow to marry Hermione, the daughter of Menelaus and Helen and that he kill Hector's little son. Act! begins at the point where Pyrrhus, having failed to persuade Andromache to marry him, has at last consented to marry Hermione, who deeply loves him and is in turn loved by Orestes. Orestes, who had secretly hoped that Pyrrhus would refuse Hermione's hand, is enraged by this news.

by D. V. ELLIS
Associate Professor of Biology in the University of Victoria, British Columbia
At the beginning of last summer. Professor Ellis arrived in this country for his first long visit since he left in 1952. With him he brought notes for a talk that set out to explain why he brain-drained in the first place: two months later he realised that his notions were thirteen years out of date-and so he prepared this second version.

Part 2

from fights to debates by ANATOL RAPOPORT
Professor of Mathematical Biology at the Mental Health Research Institute, University of Michigan
Professor Rapoport's Fights, Games, and Debate's and Strategy end Conscience have aroused wide interest as attempts to devise new ways of looking at international conflict. In this talk he examines views of war as diverse as those of Tolstoy and Clausewitz, and he suggests that our present embryo ' science of conflict ' should develop by imaginative, exploratory use of at least three approaches: the ' cataclysmic,' the ' strategic ' and the ' ideological' — corresponding to the three main bands In the conflict spectrum.
