...Poland's free general election last week, 94.14% went to the polls, and of that number, 98.5% voted the straight Communist ticket. The result, which surprised even the Communists, was no indication of how the Polish people feel about Communism: it merely showed how much they preferred the Polish brand of Communism to Soviet intervention. Roman Catholic Cardinal Wyszynski, recently freed from a Communist prison, had quietly advocated support of the party ticket, and his word was obviously effective in a land perhaps 95% Roman Catholic. This way Poland got a new Parliament, dominated by Communists, but with Democratic, Peasant...
...Manhattanites who turned out at the opening of a brand-new gallery last week, the big show was not the paintings (a 100-year retrospective from Manet and Monet to Picasso and Pollock), but the gallery itself-a gleaming interior of sculptured white plaster, marble and aluminum in which walls seemed to flow, stairs to float. Ceilings billowed to house controlled artificial light, and even the floor, covered with a luxurious wool carpeting, at one point suddenly lapped over on itself to become a bench...
Beaming with her own brand of scrubbed-face beauty. Actress Ingrid Bergman, a peaches-and-cream 40, glided off a plane from Paris, where she is starring in a French version of Tea and Sympathy. At New York City's International Airport, she set foot on U.S. soil for the first time in more than seven scandal-haunted years. Ingrid's return was as brief (36 hours) as it was triumphant; she had come to pick up the New York Film Critics' "best actress" award for her excellent performance in the title role of Anastasia (TIME...
...Some labor economists have suggested that a series of brand-new organizations be set up to change U.S. credit operations drastically, e.g., a National Capital Issues Committee, which would have dictatorial powers to allocate all credit, set all interest rates, and, in effect, peg the debt level for every businessman and private citizen in the U.S. Another suggestion is that the FRB's responsibility for backing the Employment Act be written into law. While FRB Chairman William McChesney Martin assumed' that he must help maintain full employment, no such basic mission is contained in the original charter...
...publishers have revived some old Moto yarns in which the mastermind outwits Chinese bandits, Russian gunmen, murderous extremists from his own country, and invariably becomes involved with a well-intentioned but hopelessly naive young American who blunders through the labyrinth of Asiatic intrigue. But Stopover: Tokyo is a brand-new Moto novel, and the change is significant: no longer need Mr. Moto patiently explain to the young American what the shooting is all about. Instead of an adventurous idealist, Hero Jack Rhyce is a trained CIA agent, as callous and professional as Moto himself. Even the villain is American...
