France's usually impeccable Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville offered an embarrassed echo of his boss, Charles de Gaulle. The real cause of the Arab-Israeli war, he suggested lamely, was U.S. involvement in Viet Nam. Foreign Minister Birame Mamadou Wane of Mauritania argued that Israel's "Zionist expansionism" was somehow connected to apartheid in South Africa. Syrian President Noureddin Attassi, who spent most of his time before the war inciting Arab armies to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth," charged that "Israeli neocolonialism is based in its essence on the total extermination...
...that "I had never quite believed in that world, that I had never, in fact, quite belonged to it. It now appeared to me too narrowly limited by its governing principles and prejudices." A Prelude is thus not only the scrapbook of a growing writer but also an American echo of Robert Graves's Goodbye to All That-the classic farewell to innocence and youth in the comfortable era before...
...central figure, Jan Kačer plays a slogan-spouting, blockheaded factory worker -a model product of the Stalinist old regime.

...remarks about Jewish influence in communications and Government. Naturally, such talk got him into deeper trouble. TWA stopped billing itself as "the Lindbergh Line."

Twenty-four years before, his own Congressman father had denounced World War I with equal vigor (on the ground that it was a conspiracy of the "money trust" ruled by Eastern bankers) and had been similarly reviled. After Pearl Harbor, old rancors seemed lost in the community of defense...
...proper in this kind of Hollywood hokum, she does both. But before the final fadeout she is preached at and screeched at by Roddy McDowall as her manager, Phil Harris as a TV producer, and Mrs. Miller (TIME, May 13, 1966) as herself. After a cascade of blaring echo-chamber numbers, Mrs. Miller's wobbly warbling sounds peculiarly pure and fresh. She seems the coolest of them...
