Written with spare and simple candor, the book is much more than a scalding footnote to fever-hot headlines. The Question does not stop with the Algerian question but goes on to ask: What does it mean to be a human being? It tells of the shame and glory of man. At the outset, "Alleg's inquisitors were as cocksure in their cynicism as in their brutality. They believed that just as every man is said to have his price, so every man has his breaking point. "You're going to talk! Everybody talks here!" they told...
...delightful amoral piece of Sweden which won the Grand Prix at Cannes a few years ago for various good reasons. Perhaps the judges also had never before seen a film in which the eternal games of love and sex were treated with such lighthearted wit, enthusiasm, and candor--and good taste.

Many criticized the "heavy propaganda" and the ponderous predominance of machinery in the Soviet pavilion, but felt that the Russians provided...
...arrogant; they have branded every Premier who talked of compromise with the name of "traitor" and threatened his destruction. But while their followers shouted and threatened publicly, some top conservative leaders have privately reached quite different conclusions. Last week one of the most influential talked with a realistic candor that would have shocked his noisy partisans. Said he: "Personally I have long been convinced that the time of colonialism is dead. You can't stand in the way of people who want to manage their own affairs. In Algeria there has been enough blood, enough ruin...
