...have not been good times for Elia Kazan. He has not had a critical or popular success in films or the theater for years. His second novel, The Arrangement, was a huge bestseller, but the movie he made of it was a costly debacle. More recently, books about the blacklist, like Eric Bentley's Thirty Years of Treason, have revived the memory of Kazan's cooperation with congressional Communist-hunters in the early '50s. One looks to his work for reflections of these crises but finds only camouflage and confusion. The Arrangement, apparently intended as a kind...

Bonwit Teller, the U.S. department store, is on some boycott lists, presumably for handling Israeli fashions...
...Foreign Minister Abba Eban describes as "the economic power of 10 million Jews in the free world." The Israelis, for instance, leaked word last January that a London-based subsidiary of Mobil Oil had ordered ship chandlers not to supply its tankers with Israeli goods because Libya threatened to blacklist ships found with such supplies aboard. Though Mobil headquarters in New York later withdrew the directive, 1,457 Mobil credit cards were canceled by customers. Of that number, 611 were renewed after Mobil conferred with U.S. Jewish leaders and advertised in Jewish newspapers that "there is no Mobil boycott. There...
