Peaches & Sympathy. The lowest-keyed and slickest propagandists are the Czechs, who employ their innovative cinematic techniques for programs on the virtues of working in the peach-canning or fertilizer industries. The Czechs also have the liveliest commercials. One holiday-season spot shows the last-minute buying rush, and cuts to a popular actor looking dispiritedly into his empty wallet. Then a bleached, beehived blonde sympathizes: "Don't worry about money: buy a camera on the installment plan from Foto-Kino...
...Guerre Est Finie by Alain Resnais. Resnais continues to employ a mosaic technique where flashbacks and quick montages of thoughts and objects are inserted, reaffirming Resnais' flair for visual stream of consciousness. Where Hiroshima Mon Amour used mostly flashbacks, La Guerre Est Finie's inserts are mostly flash-forwards: fears and premonitions of Diego, the middle-aged Spanish revolutionary, played so magnificently by Yves Montand. In sight and Sound, Tom Milne describes Diego as caught between two worlds "in more ways than one: between Spain and France, between youth and age, between the old Spain of the International Brigade...
...expensive, Johnson did not say. The unsuccessful Senate bill would have provided $2.8 billion for two years to employ 500,000. Congress gave just $1.77 billion to the entire poverty program for the current fiscal year, and that only after a rough fight.

...invested in the U.S. in the 191 years of the Republic. Americans now control 80% of Europe's computer business, 90% of the microcircuit industry, 40% of its automaking, and sizable shares of chemicals, farm machinery and oil. In Britain, U.S. companies own half of all modern industry, employ one of every 17 British workingmen, manufacture 10% of all British goods for home consumption or export. U.S. firms also squeeze out twice as much profit from invested capital as their British competitors. Of this, they ship $225 million a year home, reinvest the rest for the long term abroad...
...steal selectively (current high-priority target: suede coats). Store detectives never cease to marvel at the professionals' ingenuity. Some have been known to take six dresses into a fitting room, emerge wearing all of them, one over the other, and march right out of the store. Others employ such traditional equipment as the "booster box"-a gift-wrapped package with a spring-loaded trap opening-or the "Harpo Marx" coat, a shapeless, voluminous outer garment that, inside, is a marvel of deep pockets and handy hooks...
