...Some of My Best Friends. . ." (Farrar, Straus & Cudahy; $4.50) is the title of a just-published study of U.S. antiSemitism, by Benjamin R. Epstein and Arnold Forster, national director and general counsel of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (founded in 1913 to combat antiminority prejudice...
...whole business, in wilders me. Are we to Ayme's (and Moravia's) hints that things do not matter, that love, , apathy, suicide and despair like echoes in E.M. Forster's Caves, all coming to nothing muffled "ou-boum"?

The reduction in scale is true to the shape of the novel, but less broad, less deep...
...Chandrapore, Forster's provincial Indian town of the 1920s, the British raj condescendingly called social events attended by both races ''bridge parties." The play opens with such a party. Fielding (Portman), the government college principal and a man too decent to play raj, has invited a mixed bag to tea. Among his guests are a pair of British ladies-who want to see India. One of them, lanky, pink, ditherish Miss Quested (Anne Meacham), who has come from England to be married; and Mrs. Moore (Gladys Cooper), the mother of Miss Quested's fiancé. They...
