...city itself had come more than a million people, who had heard about the visit from radios, newspapers and village criers. In bullock carts, buses and trucks (supplied by the government and private businesses), on bicycles, and on foot, they came in one deafening torrent-ragged peasants, neat little babus (civil servants), fierce-looking Sikhs, lovely sari-clad women-jamming through the streets, shouting, cheering...
...decked-out period musical, moving from a plush New Orleans in the '80s to a palmy Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The handsome sets and costumes by Cecil Beaton are much the brightest part of the show. Despite some lively Ralph Beaumont dances, some pleasant Harold Arlen music and some neat touches in Morton Da Costa's direction, Saratoga has all the animation of a tableau and all the narrative interest of something written 50 times on a blackboard...
...cities but only crude tombs crammed with weapons and splendid bronze harness equipage. Brundage's Indian Parvati is one of many he owns representing the Indian mountain goddess. (Some of the others, Brundage recalls, were held up as "pornographic" by U.S. customs.) Despite its elongated ears, topknot and neat mole like a third eye, Brundage's Buddha looks more classical than Oriental, shows that East and West can cooperate on the plane of art. When and if Brundage's conditions are met, San Francisco, the Gateway to the Orient, will take its place, in one giant stride...

Like Chrysler's Valiant sedan, the new model is neat and nimble. It has the same 106.5-in. wheelbase and six-cylinder 101-h.p. canted engine as the Valiant sedan, will come in two-seat and three-seat (six-nine passengers) models. In both versions the seats will fold down to provide 72.3 cu. ft. of cargo space (v. 95.8 cu. ft. for the regular Plymouth wagon). Factory list price: $2,164, or $213 less than the cheapest Plymouth station wagon. Scheduling a minimum 30% of the Valiant production in wagons, Chrysler is drawing a compact bead...
