Memory Lane. So far, the coaxers consist largely of Harlem's Democratic Representative Adam Clayton Powell. Other New Yorkers recall Franklin's five years in Congress, where his absenteeism was to become a campaign issue in 1954. Republican Jacob Javits flattened him in their contest for state attorney general, which prompted Columnist Murray Kempton to write last week: "Roosevelt and his sponsors must hope that enough people remember his father and mother, and have forgotten him." Paul Screvane was much milder. Said he of Frank Jr.: "He is a very decent fellow, but I don't know...
Haven of Discontent. The Berkeley campus, a cultural haven in a neighborhood of cheap housing and depressed industry, has some 3,000 hangers-on. They consist mainly of would-be artists, rootless university dropouts, left-winging political activists, and quite harmless little old ladies who delight in attending every concert, rally and public lecture on the campus...
...flashbacks consist first of glimpses shot almost subliminally on the screen, followed by a somewhat organized grouping of images. The audience thus enters Nazemann's mind as he struggles both to recall and repress his past until consciousness finally wins. A dog barking on a Harlem street, for example, calls forth terrifying, split-second sequences of German police dogs alternating with the blackness of the Negro ghetto until Nazemann begins to see the dog tearing at his best friend's heels and the man clutching the prison fence in fear...
Unlike their Viet Cong comrades in South Viet Nam, the Pathet Lao are a conventional fighting force equipped with trucks and armored cars that bog down in the monsoon mud. Moreover, the Laotian anti-Communists now have effective insurgent bands afield in Red territory. They consist mainly of 6,000 American-supplied Meo tribesmen, tough little primitives skilled in the savage techniques of ambush and night assault. Meo loyalty has been sealed by a U.S. airlift of rice ($6,500,000 worth this year alone), which feeds 160,000 tribesmen. Along with the kernels come rifles, grenades and ammunition...
...pupil is wholly deficient in logical capacity. The professor's efforts to impart the elements of mathematics only succeed in confusing her and stifling her enthusiasm. The girl is unable to go beyond simple addition, in spite of the professor's warning that all of life, philosophy and civilization consist in being able to disintegrate as well as integrate. If she can perform other operations (such as a ten-place multiplication problem) faultlessly, it is because she has learned them not by reason but by the same additive process--memorization. By the end of the arithmetic session, both characters...
