Three Times a Day. At week's end the Assembly was busy probing the threat of nuclear war. Politely but firmly, the U.N. orators made clear that they were not interested in the kind of general disarmament proposed by Nikita Khrushchev fortnight ago (TIME, Sept. 28), unless it was accompanied by controls. "The hard fact," said Norway's Halvard Lange, "seems to be that no government feels it can take the responsibility for starting on the road to disarmament unless it can feel assured, on the basis of an effective control system, that the security of its country...

Singer Yves Montand is France's highest paid entertainer, the hottest music-hall performer to hit the scene since the end of World War II. Last week, appearing in the open-necked brown shirt and slacks that are his trademark, Yves (pronounced Eve) Montand made his first U.S. appearance at Manhattan's Henry Miller Theater-and proved the bravos that he has had in Europe...
