...mightily amazed at TIME'S [May 13] coverage of the recent meeting of the Catholic bishops of France. Where did your reporter get his information on the assembly's discussion of the priest workers? Was he in Paris? Did he dream it up? The priest-workers topic was not even on the agenda. Responsible church officials in France state that the matter was "not brought up a single time in the course of the assembly." I can usually go along with TIME'S reporting of facts.

With the same enthusiasm that they had once devoted to demonstrating against the British, Burma's new bosses set about achieving U Nu's dream. They adopted a $1.6 billion economic development scheme, drew up ambitious plans for a steel mill, textile industry, housing developments and hundreds of other state-operated projects. But somehow, through inexperience and the complicated task of coping simultaneously with half a dozen rebellions, they failed to achieve most of their targets.

Laugh at the Laugh. When West first started to bat about with his phosgene-filled clown's bladder, he was an expatriate boulevardier in Paris, sporting umbrella and plaid overcoat among the beards and corduroy of the lost generation. The Dream Life of Balso Snell seems on the surface like one of those near-sophomoric, painfully private japes played for the semiprivate public of a little magazine. It concerns the dream adventures of Balso Snell, a poet, who enters a Trojan Horse from the rear end ("Anus Mirabilis!"), and encounters a number of symbolic characters in the murky interior...
