In the midst of the shooting schedule, Director Juan Bardem, a 35-year-old Madrileno whose liberal opinions had not endeared him to the secret police of Franco's Spain, was awakened one chill dawn by a knock on the door. After eleven days of questioning in jail and protests by French intellectuals, he was released and allowed to finish the film. The experience, it would seem, did not intimidate...
...that the economy's health in 1958 depends on consumer spending. But a recent University of Michigan poll of consumer attitudes across the U.S. indicated that Reuther's proposal for pepping up consumer spending is about as sound as prescribing ice packs for a man with a chill.

...health. Yet after each of Eisenhower's three illnesses, as the A.P.'s News Analyst James Marlow protested, the White House "first gave wrong information or only part of the truth and let it stand for hours." Last week's initial diagnosis of a "chill" was in force 16 hours longer than the announcements of "digestive upset" that preceded disclosure of Ike's heart attack in 1955 and last year's ileitis. But on both previous occasions Press Secretary Jim Hagerty made swift amends with a discursive, detailed flow of information on the President...
