Last week, ill with influenza, obviously out of favor with the new master of the Kremlin, Palmiro Togliatti, 65, was sitting out the campaign for Italy's general elections, coming late this month. Luigi Longo, wartime Red partisan organizer, postwar street fighter and a recent visitor to the Kremlin, has taken over as acting party chief. But Communist membership is down from 2,500,000 to 1,700,000; one-fourth of the party's Senators and Deputies have been dropped as unsuitable candidates for reelection; the Communists are having a hard time finding vote-winning issues...
...people of high ideals and good fortune have announced similar purpose, and with almost tedious results they have failed. However much the birth of a new publication may warm the collective heart of the International Typographers Union, a magazine needs to stand for something more concrete than benefaction to ill-used literati. The New Yorker seems to seek out urbanity and reminscence of childhood; The Atlantic at once flirts with the ghost of William Dean Howells and holds hands, perhaps behind her back, with a stable of socially-aware Harvard professors; and Time, we all know, recognizes its peculiar calling...

He looks like an ill-at-ease student at a military academy, an appearance not suited to a part that calls for somewhat more vigor than he is able to muster. In his duets with Miss Humphreys she consistently steals the scene...
...result, so much suspicion and ill will have been built up within the industry that it refuses to get together. Ford, Chrysler and American Motors are all for industry-wide negotiations. They know that the U.A.W. would hesitate to strike the whole industry at once. But General Motors, once burned, is against it. It is also leary of cooperation with the rest of the industry lest it bring down the antitrust lawyers. Thus, unlike steel, where the strongest company does the talking, the auto-industry pattern will probably again be set by Ford, which fits the U.A.W.'s idea...
