...Conference" is apparently here to stay. In most places the opening was favorably reviewed. What is most notable in all the comment is the absence of protest over the censorship imposed by the White House on the TV-radio networks-a censorship which the networks have supinely accepted. This isn't a "live" TV-radio show. It is a carefully-edited "documentary"; the editing is done by White House Press Secretary Hagerty. The censorship has nothing to do with national security. It is governed by consideration of Republican security. Thus after Wednesday's conference, Hagerty deleted...
...simplified" forms. The final product? Form 1040! Save us from simplicity! Form 1040 not only contains the normal gobbledygook of tax forms, it has added some more, among which that of schedule J, "Exclusion and credit for dividends received from qualifying domestic (U.S.) corporations,"is a beaut.

But by year's end Joe Dodge had spawned a new bank from the wreckage and was named president of another...
...nose for yen and a yen for such un-Japanese customs as holding hands and kissing. Like identical beads, these characters are threaded on the same theme another Japanese novelist, Kikou Yamata, recently used in her spare and superior novel, Lady of Beauty (TIME, Aug. 30). The theme: Japan isn't what it used to be. In traditional Japanese style. Author Osaragi frequently confuses his writing hand with the long arm of coincidence. He arranges no happy ending, but he does fashion a moving confrontation between Kyogo and his daughter and a sex-sizzling finale with the double-crossing...
