...gesture would help the West regain the "confidence" of the Soviet Union, and start it on the road toward a peaceful democratic regime. The vast majority of U.S. theologians regard such views as politically naive at best and irresponsible at worst. Says an old friend and theological colleague, Emil Brunner of Zurich: "If President Kennedy were to adopt Barth's pacifist doctrines, the United States would soon be swallowed by the Soviet Union. A Communist regime would make short shrift of men like Barth...
...week, 27 of his rarely seen oils were on display in the Swabian city of Ulm, the birthplace of Albert Einstein and one of the most culture-minded towns in West Germany. The two earliest paintings were rather routine seascapes; the last eleven seemed to anticipate the expressionism of Emil Nolde. It was the paintings in between that interested art historians most. Just as Germany has its Russian-born Kandinsky; just as France has Gustave Moreau; and just as the U.S. has Marin and Arthur Dove, so Sweden now has its entry in the great international game of whose artists...
Walt Dressier is the reluctant candidate. He is a smalltown lawyer, has ideals, and spouts them. His supporters, including Emil Hornstein, his campaign manager, listen with horrified dismay and, unlike the reader, bury their misgivings.

The domineering father, not to be swayed, commissions Emil Durkheim to find his daughter a husband, with the threat that if the attempt is unsuccessful, Weber will have to become an anthropologist...
...Emil Hahn, the great anti-Bolshevik, leaps us at this point and calls Janning a traitor. As a director, Kramer thus bypasses no opportunity to remind America that crusading Anti-Communism has been used before as a means of encroaching on political freedom. Many liberal intellectuals have discounted the seriousness of the film because it relies on Hollywood's popular technique and personnel (Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland and Montgomery Clift turn in superb performances). These people should realize that there is a wealth of professional film-making skill in Hollywood, capable of more power and subtlety than any other cinema...
