OHIO'S governor was not the only person surprised at the thoroughness of TIME'S questioning. In Paris, Correspondent George de Carvalho managed to slip into a closed Palais Bourbon conference room to hear Pierre Poujade and his 53 Deputies discuss their strategy for the Assembly (see "Poujadists Under Fire" in FOREIGN NEWS). Correspondent de Carvalho thought he was passing unnoticed until he spotted a Poujadist staring suspiciously at his lapels: except for Poujade himself, De Carvalho was the only one present not wearing a Poujadist emblem. But he sat tight, and afterwards invited a Poujadist Deputy...
Vintage Rotgut. For those who want to hear the original version, there is a new Threepenny Opera album in German (Vanguard), fascinating largely because it shows how difficult it is for vintage rotgut to travel.

Madras was clogged with out-of-towners seeking rooms; one group of 100 rode the train from Hyderabad four days and nights, and one man walked 400 miles to hear him. Caste was ignored in the stampede to see Billy. To an audience of 40,000 he spoke through two interpreters (one for the Telugu and one for the Tamil tongue...
...church must also "challenge and expose the unexamined errors of our contemporaries in all that concerns their values, loyalties, way of life and assumptions in connection with the novels they read, the plays and films they see, the music they play and hear, the buildings in which they live, work and worship, the social symbols they revere, the dreams and fables, indeed the myths they feed upon...
