...cinema, such antique prejudices seem laughable-almost as laughable as the '60s movies will be to late-show fans of the '70s and '80s. Then as now, viewers equipped with 20/20 hindsight will perceive the depressed, desolated land that bled through the '30s films, the hunger for absolutes and the shrill patriotism that surrounded the war and cold war of the '40s. They will recognize the erosion of supposedly permanent mores and attitudes that characterized the late '50s and early '60s. They will survey the cliches of this period-the alienation...

The most disturbing news in The Money Game comes from that classic figure of the financial nether world, the Gnome of Zurich,* whose hunger for gold is only slightly less keen than his appetite for pessimism.

He charged CBS with "gross errors...
...Doctor Zhivago was smuggled out of the Soviet Union, some of Russia's best writing has been published only in the West. Despite its liberalization since Stalin's death, Russia remains full of talented, frustrated authors who are denied an audience in their own country and hunger to be read. Publication abroad can lead straight to prison-as it did for Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel, who in 1966 were sentenced to seven-and five-year terms for allowing their biting satirical novels to escape across the border...
