...BEST TIMES, by John Dos Passes. An informal canter through a "narrative panorama" of the U.S. of the recent past. Historian-Journalist Dos Passes, having suffered ideological tumbles on both the left and right, now has come to rest on a distrust of all systems that claim to improve mankind at the cost of freedom...
Hell-Bent Dilemmas. Amid the rubble of World War II, the Weekly began as one of countless Jewish bulletins providing information on people in refugee camps. As the Jews left Germany, the refugee sheets disappeared-except for one which was taken over by Marx, a German-Jewish journalist who had spent the war in England and had now returned. A combat veteran of World War I and an ardent German nationalist, Marx had a clear goal in mind. "From the first," he said, "I wanted to re-ignite Jewish life in Germany...
...that Marx is gone, his journalist wife Lilli, 45, has assumed complete ownership. Editor in Chief Hermann Levy, 56, who supervises a 24-man staff, worked with Marx for 17 years.

And everywhere, plump wide-eyed children...
...THREE BANNERS OF CHINA by Marc Riboud. 216 pages. Macmillan. $12.50. Another objective glance at Red China, including visits to Buddhist caves, a girls' dormitory at Kunming University and a Peking divorce court. The pictures were taken last year; and, since Riboud, a French journalist, spent four months in China in 1957, he is informative on the contrasts and changes since then. In sum, he sees it as a land that would be a hell for Westerners but bearable for Eastern peasants. The Chinese are constantly exhorted to read the works of Mao Tse-tung daily, and Riboud offers...
