Starve in Paris. Missouri-born and Harvard-educated, Thomson lived in Paris until World War II ("I preferred to starve where the food was good"), now divides his time between his Paris and New York bachelor apartments. He gave up reviewing, he says, because "after 14 years, I had reviewed all the artists there were and all the kinds of music there are; you go on repeating yourself after that." Nowadays he never listens to records, composes as regularly, he says, "as a hen lays eggs." Contemporary music, he thinks, is in pretty sad shape: "Practically none of the music...
...night last week, Dr. Viriato Fiallo, the widely respected, 66-year-old general practitioner who heads the U.C.N., called, along with an aide, on Trujillo's leftover puppet, President Joaquin Balaguer. Politely but firmly, the visitors told the little (5 ft. 6 in.) bachelor that although they admired his firm resistance to the comeback plans of two Trujillo brothers ("the wicked uncles") a fortnight ago, Balaguer and the holdover cronies who surrounded him nonetheless represent "Trujilloism without Trujillo," and must...

...Bachelor in Paradise (M-G-M). He: "Isn't it a bit early for a cocktail?" She: "Early! It's April." That's what the script says, but it is plainly later than Bob Hope (who admits he is 57) and Lana Turner (who claims she is 40) like to think. In Paradise they are cast as a couple of gay young things in their middle 303, but the moving finger has inexorably written lines that contradict the ones they have to say. Their first fine rapture actually suggests a desperate last fling, their romantic moments sometimes...
...South Viet Nam, Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu is much more than Bachelor President Ngo Dinh Diem's sister-in-law and a Christian first lady in a Buddhist land. She is also a pert, sloe-eyed and strong-willed feminist who, as a member of the National Assembly, pushed through a "chastity law" that reins in freewheeling husbands and gives wives more freedom to plan their own lives. To outspoken and powerful Madame Ngo, the cheating husbands of the journalistic world are the foreign correspondents, who are not subject to the Directorate General of Information "guidance" that all South...
