...SQUARE, by Marguerite Duras (118 pp.; Grove; clothbound, $3.50; papperback, $1.45). A nursemaid meets a man in a village square; they talk, while the child plays, of how it is possible to go on living. The man travels about selling five-and-dime notions from a suitcase. He is able to live, he says, because he is without hope; his life will not change, and he does not mind. The girl, on the other hand, endures a dreary job because she lives in hope of finding a husband. Life is bleak for each of them; he lives from meal...
...reclined on a leopard upholstered davenport which matched the drapes, as we had our girl to girl talk. "I've been dusting the objects d'art." (Her fans will recall that Miss Tinee's wedding gift to her husband was a life-size nude statue of herself.) A nursemaid appeared, carrying Mae's new-born infant Garnette and Mae explained, "I had her by natural childbirth. I didn't want to miss one minute of it.

This train journey is one of the book's great set pieces, with matchless descriptions of sky, snow and forest, and a haunting image of all Russia, restless, uprooted and on the move...
...would be a mistake to regard Thieves' Carnival solely as a play. Anouilh went back to some of the Moliere works and resurrected the term comedie ballet. For its full effect, this show relies heavily on dancing. The roles of the Musician, the two policemen and the nursemaid are all dancing parts...
...budget calls for a $4.6 billion expenditure to buy 1,515 new aircraft-some 1,000 fewer than originally intended, and the lowest number since 1954. Of the total, more than 50% will go for the eight-jet Boeing B-52 bomber and its smaller aerial nursemaid, Boeing's KC-135 jet tanker. All told, the Air Force will order 480 B-52s and KC-135s (cost: $6,000,000 and $4,500,000 apiece respectively), leaving only $2.1 billion for all other planes...
