...once the burglary is over, Director-Writer Jules (The Naked City) Dassin's imagination fails him. The remainder of the film, with its routine kidnaping, love interest and gang war, seems to have been made by a sadly inferior second team. Jean Servais is coolly efficient as the criminal mastermind, and Carl Mohner and Robert Manuel play his talented assistants. Director Writer Dassin is on screen, too, as an imported Italian safecracker who brings a Latin flourish to his work. Perhaps Dassin spread himself too thin in the picture, but he gathers enough honors in his memorable silent sequence...
...Sculpture Prize ($2,400): to Britain's London-born Lynn Chadwick, 41, whose early mobile efforts were rated inferior to those by U.S. Sculptor Alexander Calder and whose welded sculpture ran second place to Britain's Reg Butler. This year Chadwick (who works mostly in iron) moved into the lead with his 19 angular, spiky sculptures that came close to being the hit of the Biennale. One of the most discussed works: Inner Eye (see cut), a 7-ft. iron structure with a quartz crystal gripped on spiked arms. It looked alarmingly like a radar man from Mars...

Woodworth wants to show Europe that this country is producing fine choral music of real substance and value. So he is scheduling works by such well-known names as Randall Thompson '20, Virgil Thompson '22 and Irving Fine '37, along with pieces by little known but talented men like...
...also thinks that faculty members soften their actual views in order to appear less objectionable to students. "If I became known as some radical character," Daland says, "then I would reduce my usefulness to the University." Students at Alabama are unprepared to hear that Negroes are in no way inferior to white people. Their whole background and immediate environment hold that Negroes are inferior. Any professor who taught an undisguised theory of equality would immediately be relegated to the lunatic fringe...
...most complex factor of integration at the teaching level revolves around the qualifications of the Negro teachers. If Negro teachers are really inferior, no one can defend keeping them in an integrated school. But by breaking the vicious circle (bad schools giving bad educations to pupils who then in turn become bad teachers) at the student level, the first generation of teachers must invariably suffer...
