Nehru first announced the Chinese border incursions. After hustling back to India for a top-level party meeting, Ghosh flew off to Peking to beg Mao Tse-tung to be less brutal. Unsuccessful in Peking, Ghosh went back to Moscow to plead for help there, and last week completed his circle tour by scurrying home to New Delhi to try to hold the party together. Best measure of his success so far: postponement of a party central-committee meeting scheduled for this week, presumably to allow time for tempers to cool...

Seldom does the movie overwork a scene. It lingers over each stiuation just long enough to make its point, then hurries on to the next.

The novel ends with the gentle Sabine Numa...

...crystal to build a man, a woman, a child." This tension between geometric and biological forms is what has most distinguished his work ever since. It makes him one of the most admired and least understood sculptors, for Lipchitz' geometric parings and biomorphic bulgings combine to give a brutal and confused effect, like that of a life-and-death struggle in a gunny sack...

Many of Duplessis' civil-rights policies would have been incredible anywhere else in North America: the notorious Padlock Law for political groups he deemed "Communist," his harassment of Jehovah's Witnesses, the brutal record of his tough provincial cops in labor disputes. Duplessis was sometimes at odds with high Catholic churchmen, but in rural areas, Le Chef, le pere, and the preservation of the faith were indivisible...
