...ORGANIZER. In this vivid, beautiful account of a 19th century strike in Turin, Marcello Mastroianni fascinatingly portrays the early labor leader as a kind of holy hoodlum...
...part frolicking peasant, part common scold. In his lighter moments, he was engagingly frank. With half a glass of beer inside him, he was asked at an after-dinner party whether the Russians had ever solved their succession problem. Khrushchev's response was a jocular account of the 1957 at tempt by Bulganin, Molotov, Malenkov and Kaganovich to depose him. "Bulganin," said Khrushchev, "was and is a very good bookkeeper.

But it had a commendably professional sheen, and its contents sought to grapple with some of the problems and interests of its peers: a Denver boy's account of how it feels to be a high school dropout, a page of verse composed by an 18-year-old girl, a random assortment of teenage views on public school integration. All this may not have looked like serious competition to the call of the juke joint, but the first run of 5,000 copies...
