...Other Friends. Yet in Oslo, the Communist World Peace Council was busy trying to prove that the nations with which Russia yearns to coexist are a bunch of bloodthirsty plague spreaders. Even though the sessions were attended by the standard Red cheerleaders, the show proved something of a flop. At a three-hour press conference, France's Joliot-Curie, who once had some stature as an honest scientist, showed "documentary" films of germ warfare from Korea and China.

Most of the acts are vaudeville, but the subtleties of Yiddish vaudeville are as good as anything the Palace ever had. And there are enough English jokes to keep those who cannot understand Yiddish from becoming completely frustrated. Once in a while a moldy yuk shoves its way in among the crisp ones, but never enough...
