...should be interested to know how your film critic discovered that the central idea of Clouzot's film The Wages of Fear was "hate America" [Feb. 21]. I know this idea circulated in some limited circles here . . but none of the serious critics ever believed it was so. There is an unpleasant oil company in the film; it so happens that most oil companies are American, but your critic is not justified in saying that it stands for America. To us, here, it was just an unpleasant oil company. What should we say, then, when we see your movies...

Chairman Smith glanced at the Navy-type, 24-hour clock on the wall, murmured: "Thank you." A few minutes later, Smith called for a vote...
...disaster, and a similar clause in the present constitution-ignoring the fact that the intent in both cases was for the national government to take over, not a municipality. Communists uttered cheers and huzzahs, the right-wing Socialists passed a resolution of approval, and Tuscany's industrialists, who hate La Pira, denounced him. La Pira might gain more popularity, they sputtered, but he had achieved it by adding one more uneconomic industry to the government tax burden, a practice already too widespread in Italy. The ponderous Christian Democratic Party, embarrassed by La Pira's act, decided...
