Stopping off in Accra for a few hours talk with Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah-whose lordly behavior makes a strong appeal to nationalist leaders like Lumumba -he flew on to London. A passel of Fascist-minded Mosleyites picketed the Ritz Hotel where Lumumba stopped, and Ghana's High Commissioner in Britain, Sir Edward Asafu-Adjaye, was knocked down by two of the Mosleyites, whose slogan is "Keep Britain White!" Unscathed, as usual, Patrice Lumumba reached New York's Idlewild airport this week. Speaking to a dawn patrol of newsmen, Lumumba said softly that peace in Congo...
...Italy, this speed was almost unprecedented. But the politicians had been scared by the riots the Communists had staged a fortnight ago to protest the 24 neo-Fascist votes that gave the Tambroni government its majority. The riots had not amounted to much in themselves. But they vividly demonstrated that the Communists had at last latched on to a popular issue after years of political isolation, shocked the squabbling non-Communist parties into amenability.

They circled around the rioters in jeeps like Indians around a wagon train, clipping...
...Bard. All the actors, British and American, like their predecessors, are involved in the attempts of their age to press Shakespeare into a contemporary mold. Orson Welles dressed his Caesar in quasi-Fascist uniform, and Olivier's mother-possessed, mob-envenomed Coriolanus ended hanging head downward, like the dead, degraded Mussolini. Moscow has staged Hamlet as an army plot against the King, with Ophelia a court whore who played the mad scene drunk. In Manhattan a group of feminists staged an all-female Lear, and a Polish actor played Shylock as a fat, wisecracking Broadway type. At Stratford...
