...CHRISTIAN ANTI-COMMUNISM CRUSADE, led by Dr. Fred Schwarz, 48, a genial, Australian-born physician and onetime Baptist lay preacher. Schwarz began his crusade in 1953, has become one of the principal figures of the rightist revival. Better read and less inflammatory than most of his counterparts, he avows it his purpose "fundamentally to inform, to teach, to educate" about Communism. He has drawn crowds of up to 15,000 in cities across the U.S., persuaded 41 mayors of California towns to declare an antiCommunism week, plans to invade New York City next July in "the biggest thing they...
...Genial company, these assiduous scribblers, but also cloying. For these three novelists are remembered with increasing frequency not for the devastating brilliance of the center of their social vision, but for the treacly smearings around the edges. (Who, for instance can remember Mr. Casaubon, but who can ever forget Dorothea or Will Ladislaw?) Mr. Wilson's own vision is unfailingly clear, his thought unswervingly honest, two facts which make him the most important writer in Britain today.

Nevertheless, for dues of $7.50, as a West German magazine delicately pointed out, "one does not have to be rich to belong...
Died. Joseph M. Schenck, 82, ex-chairman of 20th Century-Fox and United Artists, Hollywood's patient, genial master decision maker who spanned cinema history from the silents to wide-screen extravaganzas; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills. A shrewd and durable Russian immigrant with a talent for bargaining that propelled him from a drugstore in Manhattan's Chinatown to an estimated $100 million in movie earnings, Schenck possessed a way with people that won him the trust of all filmdom, enabled him to function as Hollywood's peacemaker (he settled the long-standing feud between...
...grand chaps. Red Boss Mao Tse-tung took Monty swimming in the Yangtze River (surrounded by 60 nervous lifeguards). Mao's heir apparent, Liu Shao-chi, whose icy demeanor frightens even his colleagues, struck Monty as "a thinker, an intellectual": tough Foreign Minister Chen Yi was "a most genial and pleasant person and has a great sense of humor," and Chou En-lai possessed "a first-class brain...
