...Monsters Gog (Ivan Tors; United Artists) is a tidy, legless little robot with five arms, a beer-barrel belly, and a head like a chrome-plated grapefruit with a gleaming red aerial on top. Gog is married-or something-to another robot named Magog, and they both work in a highly secret space-research institute, hidden somewhere underneath the great American desert, which Herbert Marshall runs for the Government...
Gorin likes Feodor, and before long Novikov's subtle brand of doubletalk has the old writer naively whitewashing Stalinist tyranny by eulogizing Russia's mad despot, Ivan the Terrible. The Kremlin bravos. But Gorin is heartsick at betraying his own values, and makes indiscreet remarks about the regime. From Veria, Feodor receives new orders, and he carries them out by smashing Gorin's head against a radiator until it is a bloody pulp...
Soviet High Commissioner Ivan I. Ilyichev, ordinarily a phlegmatic and silent man, last week summoned Austrian Chancellor Julius Raab and Vice Chancellor Adolf Scharf to his headquarters for a dressing down. Ilyichev accused the government, the two major parties, and particularly the Austrian police force (which operates under Austrian control, technically independent of the four-power Allied Control Council), of "hostile and subversive activities against the Soviet authorities and Soviet occupation forces." If the Austrians didn't do something about it, Ilyichev threatened, Russia would...
Flaubert's best friends tried to dissuade him. Russian Novelist Ivan Turgenev reminded him that Voltaire had dashed off Candide, the finest satire in French letters, in just three days; he warned Flaubert to work fast or not at all. But Flaubert plodded along at his own schedule, poring through some 1,500 volumes as research. After eight years, not quite finished with his story but with the end clearly indicated, Flaubert died. Now, for the first time, the English-reading public can judge for itself whether Flaubert or Turgenev was right...
Riders to the Stars (Ivan Tors; United Artists) is an oater of the ionosphere. The hero (William Lundigan) is a rocket jockey, the first man ever to ride a guided missile through the wide open spaces beyond the earth's atmosphere. The heroine (Martha Hyer) is a "space-medicine girl" who "dreams of flying almost every night." The rocket man is told by his double-dome dad (Herbert Marshall), a rocket scientist, to go and catch a meteorite. He does this, 80 miles above the earth, with the help of the most startling invention since the Sky Hook...
