...Gandhi takes over a nation at the moment of its severest crisis in 18 years of independence. In northern India there is the threat of renewed invasion by the Red Chinese, who have already seized 14,500 sq. mi. of Indian territory. To the east and west lies the dilemma that is Pakistan, and the question of how to proceed with the truce agreement that Shastri negotiated with President Ayub Khan at Tashkent. At home, India is plagued by famine, rising unemployment, and just about every other woe that an overpopulated, poverty-stricken land is heir...
...task. Finally (because he comes to the conclusion that Hitler is mad) he betrays the city to the Allies and it's all over but the shouting. Producer Ray Stark could have made a documentary or he could have made a movie about von Choltitz's moral dilemma (uninteresting though it may be). Instead he has attempted to place every page of the book in Gallic animation--a feat awesome in itself since every page is as boring as the next. But he has indeed been faithful...
Matter of Cash. At the root of the Filipino dilemma is the age-old Asian problem of too many people, too little food. Population is growing by a million a year, and some 360,000 youngsters enter the labor market annually, only to find jobs largely lacking. To feed this fecund people, Marcos must produce 4,600,000 tons of palay (unhusked rice) in the coming year; even at that he will have to import 600,000 tons-at a cost of $65 million...
...Theater in Minneapolis and the Arena Stage in Washington, American theater is irrevocably centered in Manhattan. And Broadway continued to be beset by urban blight. Part of what was wrong was the audience itself-too old, too prosperous, too complacent to be bothered about the basics of the human dilemma. These playgoers and, to a degree, the daily New York critics who reflect their likes and dislikes, demand beddy-bye stories for grownups-the Theater of Reassurance. This is the audience that barely kept alive the season's best serious new play, John Osborne's Inadmissible Evidence...
What to teach about sex-or even whether-is an intensifying dilemma of U.S. education. The big New York City school system ignores the subject; the big Los Angeles system takes pride in treating it. Washington, D.C., offers candid sex education, at least partly to fight down the high rate (1,100 cases a year) of unwed pregnancy among high school girls; just across the Potomac in Virginia, state law prohibits any public school sex instruction. Even among communities that think sex is a fit classroom subject, there is no unanimity of approach; some teach blunt physiology, with pictures; some...
