...More startling than the excellent exposition of the meat of the Oppenheimer case in TIME, June 28, was the box preceding it under the title "The Handout." TIME really outdid itself in this expression of journalistic candor, for the professional intellectuals in journalism have loudly boasted for years about reporting in the "public interest."

His fits have a mystical quality and come on him when he is confronted by someone seeking a solution to life in evil. Amidst the cunning Russian aristocracy he is an unconscious link with the metaphysical, and Gerard Philipe's performance falters only when he lends more melancholy to his lines than poetic innocence. Edwige Feuillere portrays the bold yet sensitive women who first seeks happiness...
