...world view. In the latter, most recent picture, Wilder once and for all stops paying his rather vulgar homage to Ernst Lubitsch's lyricism and reduces love to a mere pawn in the chess game of human greed.

...year of decision for many masters of the modern movement. At the cafés of Montparnasse, the radicals of the new generation were discussing Africa's primitive sculpture and the great Cézanne memorial exhibition.

In Bonn, the Federal Statistics Office has reported that only 36 strikes occurred in West Germany last year. The number of striking workers was 25,167, of whom 23,836 walked off the job for less than a week, many for just a few hours. As a result...
