...filtered through English subtitles. Viewers who have seen the English stage version that has played for several years in Manhattan's Greenwich Village will notice differences; the film, for some reason, has fewer songs, and its mockery of capitalism is more savagely direct. The stage play rewards the outlaw Mack the Knife for his evil deeds merely with a title and a pension; in the film. Mackie Messer (Rudolph Forster) becomes the director of a bank. As Peachum's beggars prepare to break up a coronation parade (Threepenny Opera owes its inspiration to John Gay's Beggar...

After nearly 18 months of negotiations at Geneva, the U.S.-British-Soviet delegations seemed close to a nuclear test-ban agreement: an unequivocal pledge to outlaw easily detectable above-ground or underwater explosions and a voluntary moratorium on underground tests-provided the Russians join in an earnest effort to perfect devices for detecting small underground bombs (TIME, April 11).

Would the church try to outlaw divorce or birth control? No, say Bennett and Schlesinger. Bennett fears that the Catholics "will" (he does not say "would") try to make divorce "too difficult." But he does not foresee an effort to pass any further laws barring birth control, though "here is an area where there will be a good deal of conflict in the future." Historian Schlesinger agrees that future birth control legislation is unlikely, but castigates Catholic resistance to repeal of existing laws in Massachusetts and Connecticut (passed by Yankee Protestants in the 18703) as "mistaken and offensive...
