True to the fever of the season, this violent outburst was run by the N.A.A.C.P.-normally a mild-tempered organization. Herbert Hill, national labor secretary for the association, made it clear that things had changed: "The arena of combat for the N.A.A.C.P. has shifted from the courtroom to direct mass action." And he snapped that there would soon be big protests over job discrimination in Boston, St. Louis, Chicago, Washington and New York...
...also sounded a warning to his Baath party rivals in Syria, who had just purged their regime of pro-Nasser elements. But his words were curiously mild. During the twelve days of Nasser's trip to Algeria and Yugoslavia, Radio Cairo had made the air waves blue with abuse of Syria's Baathist leaders.

This was a modest forecast; many economists anticipate a G.N.P. of at least $585 billion. At the semiannual meeting of the Council...
...conception of the entire world as a brothel may have shocked Broadway critics four years ago. But the idea seems pretty tame now. When Shelley Winters explains this Weltanschauung in the movie's fade, for the benefit of the slow-witted, she adds a powerful insult to a rather mild injury. As for sensuous aspects, devotees of this limited segment of cinema art had better stick to Washington Street. There is nothing in The Balcony that could overly disturb a Puritan Sunday picnic...
