...takes a real man to live it. It is not a matter of lust. To take plural wives, a man doubles, triples or quadruples his responsibilities. He has more problems to solve. He must create a home in which harmony and selflessness prevail. He must provide. And it takes a real saint of a woman. She must overcome human weaknesses. In the polygamous home, there can be no jealousy, no selfishness. The whole family must live for the family, not for individuals. The children are finer. They never acquire the pettiness of other children. They live in a home where...
...speaker who won respectful attention but little agreement was Manhattan's Mortimer Ostow, 37. He recalled that after observing the violence of World War I, Sigmund Freud revised his basis for psychoanalysis: instead of hunger and lust, which he had previously rated as the fundamental instincts, he postulated love (Eros) and a death instinct (Thanatos). Dr. Ostow made a different proposal.

...when she loses her man to Joan. The luckless man (Barry Sullivan) retires to his room in the mansion house to nurse his bottle and his grudge.

Said a comrade, "Gamal, the front is not here, it is in Cairo." Nasser turned to the front, plotted a revolution, toppled a king and rose to be ruler of Egypt's 22,500,000, the most powerful, most energetic and potentially most promising leader among the long divided, long misled Moslems...
...HIDDEN GRAVE, by Peter Hardin (217 pp.; Harper: $2.75), is the story of Gideon, a fortyish, "handsome granite man, huge, subtly balanced." He has cold grey eyes and cropped grey curls. Men bristle with an atavistic hate in his presence, but women lust after him. Why has Gideon come back to a place he has avoided for 20 years? What is the fascinating secret of Helen, now one of the town's leading citizens, who once loved him unreservedly? Why do the hotelkeeper, the banker and the lawyer first fawn upon him, then try to threaten and bully...
