Before he plays a match with a Westerner, Russia's World Chess Champion Mikhail Botvinnik goes into training with war-game thoroughness, e.g., his seconds blow clouds of cigar smoke in his face and turn up the radio to a blare. Last week at Zurich, in a smoke-filled (but quiet) room, nine Russian chess experts and six other challengers from abroad, including the U.S.'s five-time champion, little (5 ft. 2 in.) Samuel Reshevsky, met to challenge Russia's mighty Mikhail for the world title...
...winner, Vassily Smyslov, made generous acknowledgment of Reshevsky's skill: "He is the greatest player of the West-a tough little man full of brilliant ideas." Then Smyslov went back to Moscow, back into training for Champion Botvinnik, who no longer has to worry about radio blare and cigar smoke. In Russia, during chess matches, smoke and talk are forbidden...

Although Leach did not plan it that way, his letter has just revived the eight-column banner implications that the Law School is full of Communists...

Once again musicomedy, in the act of satirizing something else, has ended by satirizing itself-by pointing up its own excesses of color, blare, manpower and above all, length. Jule Styne's pounding music suggests a New York that never sleeps, and unconsciously gives the reason why Robert Alton's dances get to be relentlessly, unremittingly lively. If only there were less of everything in Hazel Flagg, it might...
...Korea, the Communists in recent weeks have been doing much of their fighting with loudspeakers. Red messages blare across no man's land promising hot food, good treatment and warm shelter to Eighth Army troops who go over to the Red side. Sometimes the Reds promise liquor, women, steaks and even automobiles (make unspecified). But the enemy's loudspeaker campaign has been, to put it mildly, ineffective. He has broadcast Swedish music and talks in German to Dutch troops, the haunting strains of Carry Me Back to Old Virginny to unmoved South Koreans, and he has offered...
