...directed by Susumu Hani, 35, is an exquisitely ironical tragedy of progress. The hero (Eiji Okada), a rising young executive who lives in a handsome Tokyo housing development, discovers to his dismay that one of his old college chums is living in the ragman's row he can see from his back window. Tactfully he offers to get the fellow a better job; tactfully the ragman refuses. Why? Perhaps, Hani suggests, it is difficult to have a house full of things and a heart full of joy. Perhaps, in building a terrestrial paradise, modern man is actually building...
...only by Roman Catholics but by millions of non-Catholics who have rejoiced at the manifest liberation and revivification of worldwide Roman Catholicism during the "Johannine era." It would serve no useful purpose to mute the fact that the document, released at long last, stirs non-Catholics with dismay and, doubtlessly, "progressive" Catholics with deep if unuttered disappointment. One searches vainly for a single fresh, forward-looking declaration.

That has not yet become a problem, but Lady Bird has done her bit for zee folk music. Already a guitar-whacking bunch of folk singers called the New Christy Minstrels have entertained at a state dinner for Italy's President Segni, and Lady Bird recently capped a banquet for United Nations Secretary-General U Thant...
Seduction on the Seine. Meanwhile, a tough little Balkan swallow was flitting around Paris, much to Nikita's further dismay. He was Ion Gheorghe Maurer, Premier of Rumania and the first East European satellite Prime Minister to pay an official visit to a NATO country. For the Rumanians, who are defiantly determined to push ahead with full-scale industrialization of their country, the visit was a gesture designed to show Khrushchev that they would neither accept the grocery-store and gas-station role he wants to assign them in Comecon (the Kremlin's Common Market), nor would they...
