Planned Pause. A fortnight ago, the plot came to a boil when pro-Goulart navy and marine enlisted men rebelled against their officers and staged a sit-in strike in a Rio union hall, demanding passage of Goulart's broad and sweeping social and economic "reforms" (TIME, April 3). Far from cracking down on the mutineers for insubordination, Goulart's leftist Navy Minister gave them all weekend passes and full pardons. Newspapers, middle-road and right-wing politicians sensed that Goulart was bent on the swift formation of a socialist regime, and began a clamor of public protest...
Guardian of What? Though such facts have been established, the basic question remains: Why does anybody dream at all? Kant and Schopenhauer equated dreams with insanity. Freud called dreaming "the guardian of sleep"; he concluded that the sleeper dreams of problems (often heavily disguised) that boil up in his unconscious because they are too painful or threatening for the conscious mind to face.

The first newspaper accounts of the Hiroshima bomb consisted of stories prewritten by Laurence and others weeks before...
...console themselves, the rejected suitors organize the first surrealistic camping trip in world history; and before the trip is finished, sober old Vermont turns into a landscape by Salvador Dali. First off, the boys light up a 12-ft. stack of logs-to boil a can of soup. Then they go jeeping across an open field in pursuit of a terrified farmer-whom they try to lasso. And all the while they recollect in flashback the crazy things they did while they were courting-like, say, the time Leo peeled a banana, slipped it in the breast pocket of Jack...
