Less immediate, but no less fascinating to those involved, were the weeks of work necessary to produce such color spreads as Morocco, the latest In resort, Normandy on the 25th anniversary of Dday, the new nude look in fashion and Venice besieged by the elements. "One of the greatest services we can render," says Baker, "is to grab a subject like oceanography or lasers, which don't instantly suggest color, and illuminate a whole area that might otherwise be buried in scientific texts." And sometimes, too, there are those subjects which suggest nothing but color-such as the rainbow...
...rising presidential silhouette is having its greatest impact on the Viet Nam debate. Nixon's unusually early announcement two weeks ago that he will deliver a major speech about the war on Nov. 3 has touched off intense speculation. Indeed, some of his severest critics on Capitol Hill were easing up, apparently convinced that something big is stirring. Senator William Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said he believed that Nixon "is trying to wind down the war in Viet Nam" and predicted that the speech will demonstrate "his determination to liquidate" it.

Famous hustlers-Omaha Fats, Weenie Beanie, Boston Shorty, Wimpy Lassiter, Cuban Joe, Junior Golf-shoot it out in three different tournaments. The winner of each division plays in a three-way round-robin on the last day for the title of World's Greatest All-Around pool player...
...Wages of Fear (1953) has been generally and rightly acclaimed as Clouzot's most accomplished film to date.

For Hitchcock, the most important thing is suspense, so that many other things, such as depth and flexibility of character, are sacrificed to the single aim of scaring the collective pants off his audience. Suspense is an essential element in Clouzot as well, but the three-dimensionality of his characters...
...dramaturgy. Mahler learned much from Bruckner, primarily thematic linking of unprecedented subtlety among movements, the proliferation of material in the second thematic group, the immediate juxtaposition of radically differing elements (here Mahler extended Bruckner's simpler process of motto-lyrical oppositions to ironic commentary on all materials), and the greatest lesson of an enormously expanded sonata time-scale. But Mahler could never equal the cerulean and luminous chorale apotheoses of this Edward Gibbon of symphonists. The two men worshipped in different churches, one Gothic, the other a spectral proscenium emblazoned with existential inquiry...
