City Lights (United Artists). It is almost a law in publicity-loving Southern California that the two greatest personalities there present shall hobnob while the press & public loudly cheer or jeer. Usually this means William Randolph Hearst and whatever foreign personage happens to be visiting. But last week it meant Charles Spencer Chaplin and Albert Einstein. All of Hollywood's police reserves turned out to make tunnels through the populace so that Mr. Chaplin could escort Dr. Einstein to see the first new Chaplin film in two years...
Initiatives are brought by both liberal and conservative groups, and I am not advocating a position on any specific initiative in order to plead for the process: help save this important institution.

As the competition got under way, the Kazakoshi Park Arena--not unlike a high school gym--was filled with Japanese primary schoolchildren, old ladies blowing Piccolo Mini Cheer Horns and a crowd of Canadians crying, "Come on, button boy. Stop, baby, stop." Here was one place where an "in turn," as it happened, referred to "a rock filled with clockwise rotation," as opposed to, not a special prosecutor, but an "out turn." Nearby was a whole museum of curling...
