...part zany. Mama (Claudette Colbert), a one-woman S.P.C.A. who identifies with small fur-bearing animals, has just done an eight-month stretch in jail for blowing up two fur shops with homemade bombs. Daughter is going to have an illegitimate child by an accountant who apparently lacks the caution proper to his vocation. Son is a bearded off-beatnik novelist who has brought home to London a monolingual Greek gamine first encountered in a Sardinian hay stack. Like son, like father. During Mama's absence, Papa (Cyril Ritchard) has had his own affair with a divorcee. "The moment...
Where's the Bomb? Another reason for Chinese caution was the gloomy conviction that Moscow would with hold help. Warned a Communist general, "If there is a war within three to five years, we will have to rely on the weapons we now have." Today the weapons China most desperately wants -nuclear warheads-are nowhere in sight. Peking is so bitter about Moscow's reneging on its 1957 agreement to help create a Red Chinese atom bomb that it has broadcast details of the Russian about-face.

...Bynum knows all these dangers (he has suffered a broken leg, a broken wrist, and "a few horns in the gut"), but he carefully balances caution against the daring needed to win.

Before boarding the Queen Elizabeth for a "nostalgic" trip to England and the Normandy beaches, former President Eisenhower counseled caution, pointed out that after atmospheric tests were halted in the 1958 moratorium, it was the Russians who first resumed testing. Iowa's Republican Senator Bourke Hickenlooper wanted to know why, after the Russians had rejected a test ban treaty for five years, "suddenly there is a clear sky, the treaty is wrapped up in a week...
Militancy brought clashes of fists, stones, clubs, guns. In Cambridge, Md., a brief truce between Negroes and whites quickly gave way to warfare, with bands of armed and angry men roving the streets (see following story). In Savannah, Ga., ignoring appeals for caution voiced by responsible leaders, Negroes broke into a window-smashing, tire-slashing rampage that lasted sporadically for two nights and a day. The outbreak began when 1,000 Negroes marched downtown to protest the arrest of a Negro leader. A young New York Negro named Bruce Gordon, a member, oddly enough, of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee...
