...other characters say several times: "There's something about the girl." All the rest is left to the actress who plays Joan. She must make the audience believe in the other characters' phenomenal belief in her. This, Diana Sands fails to do. She stresses Joan the outward realist and scants Joan the inner mystic. Her voice can be heard, and a trifle too stridently, but her "voices" are mute...
...suitable, as Kallmann points out, for sit-ins. Lower levels, which will have the most traffic, are reserved for public business, contain windows at which citizens can file complaints, get licenses, argue over assessments, and register to vote. Slung through the belly of the building, with hooded windows projecting outward, are the ceremonial rooms: on one side, the city council chamber; on the other, overlooking nearby historic Faneuil Hall, the mayor's office. Administrative work will be performed away from the bustle below in four projecting tiers of clerical offices that serve as the building...
Less Plausible. A closer look reveals the harsh realities. For all its outward appearance, East German Boss Walter Ulbricht's New Wall is even less passable-even, in fact, less plausible-than the crude barrier that first shocked the world six years ago.

None could makeit. Ulbricht has already completed nearly a third...
...beautiful." This Scarlett is. So beautiful that every time she has a close-up we are in danger of forgetting what the movie is about. Rarely has an actress invested her beauty with so much variety and expressiveness. Miss Leigh's performance starts in her face and works outward, refusing to compromise Scarlett's bitch-coldness with an appeal to sympathy. War and poverty violently propel her into adulthood, giving her no time to mature; beneath the ruthless woman, Miss Leigh always betrays traces of the spoiled young girl. She is not alternately shrewd and charming, but both at once...
...this they have been badly trained. It is unlikely that even the best training programs could prepare Volunteers for the chronic emergencies and unanticipated obstacles they are likely to face abroad. Perhaps the early Peace Corps training programs whose Outward Bound components and intense lecture schedules resembled Marine Boot Camps were more helpful by virtue of their strenuousness and difficulty. The Volunteers who endured them may have gained self-confidence that they could endure still other hazards. Moreover, Peace Corps training programs bring together Volunteers from a wider variety of backgrounds within the United States than most of them have...
