...however, was the only thing he could get his teeth into. In a way, he said, it made sense. Next to high school football, the war was all we had to talk about. I was surprised at how healthy he seemed, and how little effected he seemed by the holocaust in which he had been a living part. No deeply anguished eyes. No haunted expressions. No nothing. He had accepted it and I haven't. So essentially, it was war adventures that kept my wife waiting. Waiting placidly...
...photographer never reaches the revelations of the great painter-and the documentary-film maker never touches the plane of pure fiction. In his first feature film, The Song and the Silence, director-writer-photographer Nathan Cohen tries to re-create the world of Polish Jewry just before the Nazi holocaust of 1939. To summon up the past, he meticulously compiles scene after scene of scholars poring over the Talmud, women dancing the hora, rabbis lecturing-and finally, Germans plundering.

...been pardoned by Russia's Premier (Laurence Olivier) after 20 years in a slave-labor camp. The freed man is no ordinary convict: he is Kiril Lakota, a tough, Mindszenty-like Slavic archbishop. Lakota has been sprung because Russia and China stand ready to trigger an atomic holocaust. The premier, who just happens to be La-kota's former inquisitor, is desperately gambling that the prelate can somehow persuade the world that the Soviet Union wants peace...
