...Honduras last week, voters went to the polls to elect their next . Presidents, and Brazil neared the end of the slow, complex tally (TIME, Oct. 18) of its off-year congressional vote. In all three nations, the overall pattern of results was reassuring for Western Hemisphere stability: with minor local exceptions, the voting was peaceful and orderly, and moderates and anti-Communists did better with the voters than extremists of either the left or right wing. The big winners: ¶ Brazil's conservative President Joao Cafe Filho, though not on any ballot, significantly bested the politically potent ghost...

She tells how one of his crucial experiments on slow neutrons was carried on in a fountain among unsuspecting gold fish. She giggles gently at his troubles with unruly shirtfronts. She pokes friendly fun at his brilliant friends (who called Fermi...
With Jonson's material, Harry Bauer, Louis Jouvet and a compliment of minor, but not lesser, actors create one of the funniest pictures before the modern era of slick underplaying. As Volpone, Bauer mugs and minces, as funny when he is playing dead as he is doing setting-up exercise of languid slapstick. His voice and his face alternate as the best things in the picture...
