...Atlantic Monthly reports on Johnson: "His assistants have been almost completely shut off from the press, even for background purposes," because the President feels that this will prevent unwarranted leaks. There is validity in his contention that press leaks, which are often inaccurate as well as ill-timed, may reduce his options. But such incidents have been sporadic and anything but cataclysmic...
Things are seldom what they seem in Indonesia. After last October's coup, rumors flew through Djakarta that President Sukarno was either dead, seriously ill, in jail or in flight. But up he bounces, like a kid's bell-bottom toy, and last month he was back issuing decrees, making speeches, and being the same old Bung.

Astride a spavined horse named Oahu, he viewed a bone-strewn battleground, exotic foliage, and "long-haired, saddle-colored maidens" with the rapt admiration of a Peeping Tom newly admitted to Eden...

Miss Leigh might have played Ivanov's genteel, tubercular wife as a little more ill and a little less sweet, but simply coughing louder could not have added depth to a structurally shallow role. Miss Hilary is given two types of lines-one shows that Sasha is strong-willed and the other that she is tender. Miss Hilary plays the girl as strong-willed...
