...amused incomprehension is likely to enfold U.S. readers trying to visualize the social climate in which Simone de Beauvoir rebelled against parental authority. As she depicts the French society of her girlhood, it was almost Oriental in its concern with losing face and in its rigid taboos. As a female emancipation proclamation, the Memoirs will also seem curiously dated to Americans, for Feminist de Beauvoir belongs uncompromisingly to the either-or camp on the marriage v. career question, and apparently consigns most of her sex to the vegetable bin of history. Nonetheless these graciously written memoirs carry distinct appeal...
...cold war's issues fit together like a child's toy nest of boxes. Berlin, at the center, sits inside the larger German question, which sits inside the European security question, which sits inside the container that might enfold them all-disarmament.

...Smith Act of 1940 (under which the eleven leaders of the C.P were convicted) makes Communist activities a possible basis for criminal charges, reasoned the court. Therefore, a witness asked to testify about such activities may justifiably enfold himself in the Fifth Amendment, which provides that no one in a criminal case is required to be a witness against himself. As precedent, Justice Black recalled Chief Justice John Marshall's famed ruling in 1807 reaffirming this guarantee of the Fifth Amendment in the Aaron Burr treason trial. From Mr. Burr to Mrs. Blau the constitutional line was clear...
