...moratorium on payment of their balances to the Soviet Union and cut back purchases of industrial equipment from West Germany and Britain. They are also dumping abroad textiles badly needed in China itself at prices well below competitive exports from India, Japan and Hong Kong. But these measures cannot conceal the fact that Mao's communization has wiped out those exportable surpluses of soybeans, rice, pork and oils that used to earn the country foreign exchange...
...desperate means that men have always taken to conceal their fears from themselves have always enjoyed analysis by adolescents, and this review can only be as ostentatious as my traumae will permit it to be (there's embarrassing personal stuff for you); but I offer two thoughts for self-flagellation. First, that Bogart pictures (leaving out of consideration such dismal offerings as Crime Doesn't Pay and High Sierra) need to be more seriously examined for the qualities that allow them to endure beyond their showings in the 'forties, and sporadic reincarnation on the Late Late Show; for I contend...
...likely ever to be agreement. In the first wave of response to his speech, the President was widely criticized for merely restating an abiding press problem without offering any new solution.

...based fades. A yearbook bears much the same relationship to a year as a newsmagazine like Time bears to a week's worth of world news. The subject matter it tries to cover is simply too big for its resources, and it must resort to generalization to conceal its lack of depth and background. This is quite all right if the yearbook or newsmagazine approaches its nearly impossible task modestly, but both 325 and Time are anything but modest. They not only attempt to cover too much in too little space, but also presume to judge and analyze their subjects...
