...this week's cover by one of Britain's top cartoonists, Illingworth. "My cover won't be a happy one," said Leslie Illingworth, a jolly, 60-year-old Welshman with a John Bullish face, who draws for Punch and London's Daily Mail. He meant his Britannia to be looking a little aghast toward America, not Europe. "We're not anti-American in this country, and we understand the breakaway of the American Revolution, but when the kid comes and belts the old girl across the backside it's a bit much," he says...
...Monde called De Gaulle's grandiose words "exacerbated nationalism" that "can only engender disorder and lead to isolation." But De Gaulle meant business. Suddenly, France's Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville rose to demand that the discussions with Britain be ended.

But then the movie wasn't meant to make sense; it was meant to make money. It has one major star (William Holden), one good actor (Trevor Howard), one competent director (Jack Cardiff, who did Sons and Lovers), infinitudes of the usual fauna and some spectacular shots of Mount Kenya. It also has a portly, natty, sophisticated Hollywood lion named Zamba, who looks as though he came from F.A.O...
