...those times is now. Seldom before have so many groups of students organized so militantly or seemed to try so hard to reorder their colleges, their countries or the world at large. It is the biggest year for students since 1848-a year of student-led revolution in Europe...
...Democratic Society is much smaller-5,500 members-but more influential. What it lacks in size, the S.D.S. makes up in zeal and ability to play the press for headlines. Typically, the S.D.S. has only 60 active members among 4,700 students at Princeton, but it is the biggest partisan organization on campus, and one of its highly committed members was elected chairman of the undergraduate assembly last week. An underlying principle of S.D.S. activism is to make as much trouble as possible for the Establishment. Some of its members quite openly, if naively, espouse Marxism as their basic philosophy...
Perhaps the biggest boost of all comes from the friendly South Korean peasants, who are constantly tipping off the police to infiltrators or spies who turn up in their villages. Nearly 90% of the 57 Communist infiltrators caught in the past year were captured on information supplied by villagers.

...celebrate its 20th year as a nation -and its victory over the Arabs almost a year ago-Israel this week plans to hold its biggest military pageant. Almost half a million Jews from all parts of the country will descend upon Jerusalem, arriving in some 25,000 cars and 1,000 buses-a quarter of all such vehicles registered in Israel. Lining the streets or packed into bleachers, they will watch 4,000 uniformed Israelis wend their way through both the old and the new city. Jets will fly overhead, Centurion tanks will rumble past the ancient walls...
...biggest sinner for them all is Delilah, and her characterization makes the film truly bizarre. In the classic story of good man led astray, DeMille pays little attention to the seduced here, concentrating instead on Delilah's lust for Samson. From her first appearance, as the kid sister of Samson's beloved, she is obviously excited by Samson's body, and her reaction to his outwrestling a lion is explicitly sexual. DeMille tentatively suggests Delilah's role as emasculating bitch (at one point she turns Samson into a docile houseboy), but ultimately backs away from this idea...
