International money men seem convinced that the next tinkering with the world's wobbly monetary system will involve a general realignment of most major currency values. One tip-off came last week from Karl Schiller, West Germany's increasingly influential Economic Minister. In a TV interview, Schiller substantially hedged Kurt Kiesinger's month-old promise that "the mark will never be revalued while I am Chancellor." That promise, said Socialist Schiller, binds the German government only until next September's national elections. More important, he added, it applies only to an isolated German move to raise...
...again try some oneupmanship. So Control Data last week accused IBM of monopolistic practices and asked the Government to enforce antitrust laws or, as a last resort, to dissolve the company. IBM accounts for almost three-quarters of the sales in one of the nation's fastest-growing major industries...
...Unashamed." In Major Barbara, characterizing the Undershaft family, Shaw drew a composite portrait of Europe's great munitions makers. After explaining the armorers' creed-"To give arms to all men who offer an honest price"-he assigned them as a device, the one word "Unashamed."

Brand's raw material- case histories detailing the unorthodox treatment of psychotics in the late 1940s- obsesses him at the expense of his craft. Anything approaching the tragic finally escapes him, but in this best-selling novel...
...camera doesn't help the actors out of their predicament. This is the first major film in a long time with noticeably bad editing--too fast in the action scenes, too slow and repetitive during the interminable quarrels. The Panavision closeups are appealing, especially O'Toole's leonine face and downcast eyes, but there are far too many. Had the camera roamed somewhat it might've caught more of the period feeling, as in Welles' Chimes at Midnight. As it is, the few long shots are obtrusive reminders that we are outside the whole story--like a piece of scenery...
