...senate of priests to give effective assistance to the bishop in his government of the diocese." This was a rather radi cal advance, and there was some doubt that the senates would have any effective voice. But already senates have been set up in 127 dioceses. And most have met with a fair degree of success...
...River Kwai) about the conflict of man and monkey was a clever, abrasive piece of science friction. But on the screen the story has been reduced from Swiftian satire to self-parody. The script is cluttered with man-monkey analogies, as crude as "Human see, human do," "I never met an ape I didn't like" and "he was a gorilla to remember." At one point, three of the simians simultaneously cover their eyes, ears and mouth. The best thing about the film results from Producer Arthur P. Jacobs' decision to allocate $1,000,000 for masks...
...away their chances to cash in on it first. Technicians from Scandinavian Airlines broached the notion at the 1963 Paris Air Show. It was four years later when France, Britain and West Germany got together to form a manufacturing consortium to build an air bus.

But one part consisted of a brutal simulation of what Wynne could expect in a Soviet prison if he was captured...
...Marx and the Enlightenment is masterful. Finally, Lichtheim takes his Marxism seriously. Whatever defects there may be in his method, however bitter his denunciations of Communism as it is practiced, he never ceases to treat his subjects as reasonable men whose criticisms of society have likewise to be met in a reasonable fashion. Lichtheim remains a philosopher (indeed that is his chief shortcoming) and he has thus been proof to the current fashion which spares itself the difficulty of replying to Marx by dismissing him as a moralist of this or that persuasion. No one who has read the Paris...
