With a resounding pop, Italy blew off the lid that Mussolini had clamped on modern sculpture more than a score of years ago. At Varese, in the first all-Italian sculpture competitions in many a year, top honors went to a thin-faced, little-known Venetian named Alberto Viani for one of his highly abstract nudes...
Archie, the dimwitted, malapropped manager of Duffy's Tavern, has never been known to his Third Avenue customers or his nationwide radio audience as a particularly fast man with a buck. But by last week, when Duffy's Tavern (Thurs. 9:30 p.m., NBC) returned to the air, it was clear that Archie was under the smartest kind of management.

In later years he was not to waste much time with such "silly longings." As portrayed in Isaac Deutscher's painstakingly researched and austerely written biography, Stalin has spent most of his life cultivating a steel fagade and suppressing any public sign of human frailty or fraternity-proper training for a modern dictator with pretentions to omniscience...
