...high time. With new-found momentum, the non-Communist unions (the Socialist Force Ouvriere, the Catholic Christian Trade Union and several independents) have already signed up the employers of some 600,000 Paris-area metal workers to contracts identical to the Renault terms. Employers and non-Communist unions jointly hailed the new settlements as milestones in labor relations. If it did not want to be left behind, the Communist-led CGT would probably have to follow suit: French workers were in no mood to be pauperized for the benefit of the revolution...
Although skillfully executed, Sallie Bingham's story about a devout Roman Catholic practising Christian Science somehow lacks interest. The Advocate's fragments of Professor Whitman's translation of The Alcestis, with their alliteration and charming metre, seem very well done. Aside from this, however, this issue's poetry is unexciting. Paul Flanigan has written a "pretty" sonnet, expressing Keatsian sentiments with rather abstract words. There is also another of Andre Gregory's hoaxes. This one is about a sea-walnut. John Ratte's cover is, as usual, architectural...
...pushed through, so that West Germany could have four divisions by the end of 1956. On his behalf, a spokesman declared gratefully that in Geneva the West had "made the cause of reunification their own."

...have left nothing undone to provoke the most un-Christian feelings through the mischief you have worked here . . . Because of this I see the hand of Providence in the manner of your going. If ever a man deserved to be drummed out of a country, to be ignominiously deported as an undesirable immigrant or, in the last resort, to be strung up from the nearest lamppost as a renegade, it was you . . . You leave behind a legacy of ... naked hatred among people who were here before you came and who will, by the grace of God, survive the pernicious effects...
...waving to a commendable minimum while giving a kaleidoscopic record of the savage fighting between Jew and Arab in the 1948 war. The doomed patrol of three men and a Yemenite girl get their stories told in a series of flashbacks. The first and best concerns Edward Mulhare, a Christian Irishman who starts out as a British plainclothesman and ends up serving in the Israeli ranks because of his love for a Jewish girl, sensitively played by Haya Hararit. The second tells of Michael Wager, a Jew from New York City (but, refreshingly, not from Brooklyn), who is both wounded...
