...sensitive to the inflationary effects of big-labor wage boosts and to Senate revelations of union corruption, and this may well be a sleeper issue working in the Republicans' favor. Yet in Kansas, Ohio and Colorado, the labor issue has been somewhat offset because right-to-work proposals appear on the ballot-to the distress of Republican candidates and the delight of Democrats, because right-to-work prompts organized labor to spend vast amounts of money in registration drives that usually work to Democratic advantage...
Denton, 61, appear safe. Four Republicans are in perilously close races. In the Eleventh (Indianapolis) District, polls show four-term Eisenhower Republican Charles Brownson, 44, slightly behind Democratic Theater Owner Joseph Barr, 40, who is helped by an unusually strong Marion County Democratic ticket.

There is such a single central intelligence behind La Strada: that of Federico Fellini, who wrote the screenplay (with a collaborator whose name the ticket-taking girl at the Brattle could not divulge), and directed. The questions that La Strada raises, then, resolve around Fellini. For me they are two: What is he getting at, with this superbly made story of two most...
...Myles Mace carries out a threat he made recently, a how-to-succeed-in-business book may appear within the next few years under the title The Gospel According to St. Mace. And believers of the new Word, whether they attend lunch hour worship at the church on the corner of Broadway and Wall Street, or a baccalaureate service at a university chapel, need have only the grace of competency...
