Departing, after a theatrical year that rather resembles a turkey trot, Kronenberger is content, at 56, to recall more enchanted evenings from the past. Among them: The Little Foxes, The Chalk Garden, Tiger at the Gates, Don Juan in Hell, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Misanthrope. Says he: "The idea that reviewers love bad shows so they can be very clever is the reverse of the truth. If you like a play, your praise carries the reader with you. If you don't like it, you have to sustain the reader's interest. Two of the most delightful...
...Zionist President Goldmann, who equals Ben-Gurion in temperament and scholarship, was not mollified. "I am not opposed to the content of the declaration," he said-but he was clearly piqued because Ben-Gurion proclaimed it through the rival American Jewish Committee.

Says Scholar Fischer (who knows by heart the Vulgate and the Greek Septuagint) : "So far, the real surprise is not how much but rather how little essential difference there is between the basic spiritual content of all the versions, despite linguistic and local differences. To gain this recognition may, after all, have a direct bearing on the position of Christianity in our troubled era of today...
...been shooting a movie in Tahiti for months (TIME, Feb. 10); and while in native lingo Hollywood is still the term for jail, it is also beginning to mean cash. The influx of money has created the desire for more, and youngsters who were once content with innocent native life are looking around for new ways to earn more money. The pull for tips is growing. Even the dancing and feasting sometimes lose their improvised quality and become mere attractions on a package-tour agenda...
