...Driberg's own squeamishness about Rhee, Chiang, et al. and his robust digestion for Communist cruelty is an odd phenomenon of the times. We, in the U.S., have had many exponents of this political and moral double-vision and double-dealing, but thank God, few ever got elected to Congress . . . PETER S. WILKINSON Brooklyn...
...illustrated by the retrospective portfolio of photographs (see pp. 59-66). Of the twelve shown, at least half are contrived rather than documentary.

To be sure, this would probably involve "sectarianism" in the sense that representatives of the various faiths might be present on the faculty...
...Paris' Grand Palais last week, 105 automakers from eight countries put their prize products on display in Europe's most lavish motorcar exhibit, the 40th Salon d'Automobile et du Cycle. While car prices ran as high as $14,000, it was the "baby cars" that stole the show...
