...Assimilation. The Loi-cadre was in itself a revolutionary move in French colonial thinking. It meant the end of the concept of a French republic "one and indivisible" and of the tradition of cultural "assimilation." But for all France's concessions, and for all the money it belatedly spent on schools (there are still only 250 in Guinea), on building the port of Conakry, on roads and on the battles against such scourges as malaria, sleeping sickness and leprosy, Toure made no secret of the fact that he regarded the Loi-cadre as only "a first step...
...unyielding on Germany and Berlin. As for the West's new Geneva proposals for international nuclear inspection teams, he said that this meant "organization of a full-scale intelligence network of the Western powers on our territory," but nothing of the kind in Western territories because "we do not have any war aims and do not need to make a reconnaissance of their territory...

And here begins the long, slow, exquisite resolution of the drama: the story of how the mother dies in order that Apu may live as he was meant to live.

In a pictorial sense the film lacks something of the noble simplicity of Father Panchali, but if its images are more sophisticated, they are no less brilliant and effective. What is perhaps...
...clear by the shows. In Manhattan, the standout exhibits were Seth Eastman's Lacrosse Playing Among the Sioux Indians and Albert Bierstadt's The Last of the Buffalo -both brown, spacious, romantic and unabashedly illustrative. The Washington show was long on flat, bright abstractions that would have meant no more to Eastman and Bierstadt than so many Indian blankets. First prize of $2.000 and a gold medal went to Walter Plate, 33, for Hot House, a big, lush bouquet of thick colors, which thus became the Corcoran's latest acquisition. An ex-marine who studied painting...
