DEATH IN LIFE: SURVIVORS OF HIROSHIMA by Robert Jay Lifton. 594 pages. Random House...
...make of the Bastille the symbol of absolutism (there were worse places and institutions) and it was equally arbitrary for public opinion to single out nuclear weapons as a target of moral outrage when ordinary bombs had killed many more people in Dresden than the atomic bomb killed at Hiroshima. The choice of a symbol happens to be a fact, and I am not even sure that we should deplore...
...about to be come the world's No. 1 shipbuilder, a title that eluded it last year when another Japanese firm, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, topped IHI's 1,600,000-gross-ton production by almost 100,000 tons. By absorbing Kure, a smaller shipbuilder near Hiroshima, next April, IHI will boost launchings to over 1,800,000 tons.

Where Hiroshima Mon Amour used mostly flashbacks, La Guerre Est Finie's inserts are mostly flash-forwards: fears and premonitions of Diego, the middle-aged Spanish revolutionary, played so magnificently by Yves Montand. In sight and Sound, Tom Milne describes Diego as caught between two worlds "in more ways than one: between Spain and France, between youth and age, between the old Spain of the International Brigade...
