...Sica's camera moves everywhere unobtrusively, creating a documentary effect, never indulging in special, lush shots that would make the world of his film seem more ordered or more wonderful than the world of day-to-day experience. But the "real" world suffices well enough indeed as a backdrop of malignity, Screaming traffic, hostile crowds and dark, spectral buildings frame this drama of the streets which is not just a slice of life, but seems to have been wrenched whole-cloth from...
...simultaneously being trampled by an elephant and needled by a mosquito-and goes for the mosquito. While doing his best to ignore Communist China's latest incursions in a vast (50,000 sq. mi.), disputed area oi northeastern India, Nehru declared recently that Portugal's lush, Rhode Island-sized colony of Goa on India's west coast was becoming increasingly "intolerable." Last week, for all Neutralist Nehru's past protestations that India would never use force tp eject the Portuguese from the last European colony on Indian soil, his armed forces were building...
Some leaders of the new wave: ∙DOLORES WETTACH is lush, Lorenesque, and doubly foreign (her father is Swiss, her mother Swedish); she moved at the age of five from Switzerland to Flushing, N.Y., where her father set up a mink ranch.

The task of separating what we like from the phony folk music becomes more difficult all the time, anyway. Here, then, is a one- sided incredibly opinionated, narrow- minded demi-survey of some current folk music records--for no-one is happier about the boom than...
After a time his voice rather gets on your nerves, even though an impersonal tone is perhaps just right for this kind of poetry. Much of Eliot's violent and intellectually lush symbolism really is a way of escaping from the whirr and bang of feelings into an impersonal, almost codified moral and aesthetic order; and his reading, like his poetry, too often has the deadness and woodenness of perfect peace. Even when Eliot reads a passage like this from his New Hampshire "Landscape...
