...BEARD. Japan's Akira Kurosawa is one of the world's greatest film makers, and in this deceptively simple story about the spiritual growth of a young doctor he has made one of his greatest films. Kurosawa's techniques are impeccable, and his actors-especially the justly famed Toshiro Mifune-are among the most accomplished ever to appear on screen...
Dulles' greatest achievement in World War II was the negotiation of an early surrender of German troops in Italy, which he arranged through a secret meeting with the SS commanding general in a Swiss villa.

...anti-anti-missileers' greatest fear is a nuclear accident in their own backyards.

Appointed in 1960 by Kennedy as a Southern political debt, Dixon has driven, says the report, most Republicans out of high-level positions, and has staffed the agency with cronies, political appointees, and Southerners who share little of the interest of some low-grade attorneys in vigorous industry regulation.
