...Diego Rivera sketched during all-night vigils in the Tarascan graves near Tzintzuntzan. And David Siqueiros was perhaps at his best when quartering and Duco-painting a heroic Cuauhtemoc in his death throes. Last week the U.S. got a good look at the work of a new Mexican artist, Jose Luis Cuevas, who sometimes plays truant from the embalmer's school of Mexican...
...bedroom to Arbenz, who fell off the wagon and went on a thundering three-day bender, after which a doctor straightened him out with glucose injections. Former Foreign Minister Guillermo Toriello visited the ex-President from time to time, but most of the other inmates never saw him. Jose Manuel Fortuny, No. I Communist and longtime Arbenz adviser, had an urgent personal problem: his wife was at the point of giving birth.

His air force, made up of a few lightly armed trainers, was no match for F-47s, even...
...quality of almost noble despair to the captain's sufferings. Van Johnson, who has hardened in recent years into a competent and calculating performer, brings off the square-headed Maryk surprisingly well. Fred MacMurray looks a little too dumb and stiff to be the fast-talking Keefer, but Jose Ferrer, so long as he is not required to do anything more than leer, is suitably aggressive as Barney Greenwald. E. G. Marshall has a fine stretch as the trial judge advocate...
