...left when it opened in Paris this year. This was partly because of its iconoclastic view of the title character, partly because it invests Robespierre with a complex intelligence that makes him more sympathetic than history generally has him. In a sense, though, that controversy is the least important aspect of the film for non-French viewers, who can afford a certain objectivity about another country's heroes and antiheroes. They can see the principal figures as Director Wajda does, not so much in a historical landscape as in a moral one that has powerful modern relevance...
Your report fails to recognize the universal aspect of the Christian faith. The World Council of Churches is not a propaganda arm of either the U.S. or the U.S.S.R. It is to be commended for the way it remains free of the influence of nationalistic political and economic systems that continually seek to hold it in bondage...
...This aspect of Wright's work is exemplified in "Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School," a show of more than 250 furnishings, drawings, photographs and documents that opened last week at New York City's Cooper-Hewitt Museum, the Smithsonian Institution's national museum of design.

Editorial Board Chairman Tsuneo Watanabe explains, "I would want to develop star reporters, but the Japanese tradition of anonymity among writers dies hard." If any one thing would make Japanese newspapering seem utterly alien to U.S. reporters...
...most engaging aspect of the novel, the concept of masks from the No Dramas as a symbol for the facade individuals erect to hide their true feelings, loses its power and becomes lost in the quagmire of the tedious plot. By the time the sixth different character remarks that Mieko's face is reminiscent of a No mask, the symbol has become merely bothersome, a tool the author uses to justify the fact that no one understands or is aware of what Mieko is plotting...
