SOME VERSION of wage and price control is now the publicly acknowledged political position of the international financial community and its immediate ideological dependents. Central bankers assembled in conferences of the International Monetary Fund or most recently in a ceremonial meeting of the BIS (Bank for International Settlements), emboldened by the near collapse of the U.S. stock market, imperiously insist on an American "controls" policy, already imposed, under pressure from U.S. financiers, in France and Britain. Dozens of liberal congressmen recite the "wage and price control" axiom, although most don't own the foggiest notion of the what...

...Whoever is master of Bohemia is master of Europe," declared Bis marck. Between periods of self-rule, Bohemia fell to the Avars in the 5th century, later to the German emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and finally to the Habsburgs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Czechs and the Slovaks were perhaps the first people in Central Europe to develop a sort of natural identity, and their first weapon was religion. They won from Rome the right to conduct their religious services in Slavonic in the 9th century. Partially as a result of this independence, the Czechs started...
What endows Pinter with his immense theatricality also seems to stunt the scope of his mind and art. All the world's a stage, but the stage is not all of the world. The question remains whether Pinter, having amply proved bis ability to capture a particular mode and style of dramatic existence, can or will move on to describe more comprehensive states of being...
