...disarmament a two-sided proposition; 2) the U.S., in its determination to match and surpass the Soviets in the missile race, can not afford to neglect such equally important phases of the cold war as foreign aid and liberalized foreign trade. The decisions of the NATO conference, said Dulles, add up "to quite a lot, assuming, of course, that they are carried out with vigor...
...Real Womanliness." What Maria does give, according to Director Brooks, is something new to U.S. show business. Instead of North American sex, Maria has Central European Seele, which Brooks defines as a sort of spiritual dreaminess, interfused with girlish innocence and a tender maternal quality.

It will drop its pallid...
...FEAST OF LUPERCAL, by Brian Moore. A book which proves that Novelist Moore's excellent first, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1956) was no accident. Malice, spite, envy and sexual frustration at a boys' school in Ireland add up to ignorance triumphant-and pathos on every page...
