...revolution of another kind. In France and Poland, a band of gifted and dedicated young moviemakers, inspired by the example of Italy's neo-realists and Sweden's Ingmar Bergman, plunged into a daring and promising renovation of the art of film. Working on tiny budgets without benefit of studio facilities or well-known actors, the men of the Nouvelle Vague (TIME, Nov. 16) in a single year produced at least three pictures-Black Orpheus, The 400 Blows, Hiroshima, Mon Amour-of rare originality and power.

Huxley died in 1895, at 70, and was buried without official benefit of clergy. Throughout his life he had been a model of Victorian rectitude, partly to prove that a man could be moral without fearing Hell -although he said if the climate and company were right he preferred Hell to annihilation. To his scientific allies who made a fetish of X, the unknown, he had written: "If I am to talk about that of which I have no knowledge at all, I prefer the good old word God, about which there is no scientific pretence...
