...troubled youth brought face to face with eternity. Timeless Don Juan takes Fernando's woman away from him because he is supremely charming. But Don Juan dies having just completed the theft, and leaves Fernando ready to accept only the partial love of Gloria, who had loved them both but Don Juan more. And that's it. And it's quite a problem. "Success is the price you pay for having paid the price...

It was a tradition that remembered fondly how Britain drew borders and created kingdoms for idle Hashemite Kings in Iraq and Jordan, or rolled tanks up to Farouk's palace in 1942 to force the King to accept a Premier of British choosing.

Washington's 25th Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Oil Paintings at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago's 62nd American Exhibition of Painting...
...does no boasting about another distinction : it is the only major wire service in the free world that has been largely government-supported. Founded after the liberation to succeed prewar Havas, which the Nazis liquidated in 1941, A.F.P. was forced to go to the government for money -and accept government slanting of news -because struggling Paris dailies could not meet the agency's full operating costs...
