...precedent in any other socialist state, or even "in such capitalist countries as the U.S. and France," Gomulka insisted that the kind of socialism he envisaged for Poland would in the long run "depend on the shaping of relations between the People's State and the church." Nevertheless the guiding power on Gomulka's road would be a Marxist-Leninist dictatorship of the proletariat. Inside the party he promised "full freedom of speech," but outside no party member (and presumably no private person) would have the right to express opinions which are out of harmony with party policy...
...Greenwich Village that for years specialized with indifferent success in beer and sagging chorines until the late Jazzman Charlie ("Yardbird") Parker one evening offered to "do a gig" on his alto sax to square a bar debt.

Nevertheless, she has more offers for theater dates than she can handle, has just been signed for a movie. "She has a sort of refined wildness," says one producer. For all her highly publicized sex appeal ("Sensational! Untamed!"), Michiko has more female fans than male, chiefly because Japanese men prefer their women more submissive, get nervous at the thought of untamed flaming youth...
...Pulitzers nevertheless seek their poetic strength in art in terms of a diversity of temperaments. I first saw Picasso's Woman in Blue in New York several years ago and never forgot it. Possibly the most exciting of the ten Picassos here, its blacks and reds, blues and violets, unite the painter's apparently endless ingenuity with his most substantial creative capacities...
