...colleague Jan Beneš, who was on trial last week in Prague for smuggling his manuscripts abroad. Yet the rising tide of protest seems to be achieving a degree of success. There is speculation that Soviet censors may soon release for publication Solzhenitsyn's The Cancer Ward, a novel about Stalin's secret police that has been smothered in recent years for ideological reasons. Some prominent Russian writers are even predicting that the regime may soon go so far as to abolish all censorship except for that imposed on grounds of military security...
...their outlook and policies, "until they are more like we are." Despite these imperious words, West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt succeeded in bringing the issue of British membership before the Market's Council of Ministers in Brussels.

Although his tale is almost too short...
...dress. I rushed right over to The Dirty Dozen. I wanted to see if I could watch every last machine-gun fire, every last sock in the eye. Age doesn't make you callous, just confused about what's Right and Wrong. So when relief--a play or a novel or a movie with straight black and white characters--comes, you run to it. And since Mr. Crowther took such a tut-tut attitude toward the violence, I figured there'd be lots of it. That meant a simple simpatico bunch of heroes because, as any director knows...
