...riots were only the outward expression of an intellectual ferment which has seethed through Poland ever since Gomulka declared his provisional independence from Moscow. Its unquestioned leader is a gawky, 36-year-old political philosopher whose devastating attacks on the Russians' brand of Communism have already made him a hero to Poland's students. "Leszek Kolakowski," said one ardent young Communist last week, "is much more important for Polish intellectual development than Khrushchev's speech...
...here and there on the stage the story loses a certain inward glow, it gains in outward color from snatches of song or the interplay of street voices. With the performers-particularly George Brenlin as Sean and Aline MacMahon as the mother-providing a resonant voice box, I Knock at the Door wisely puts adroit storytelling ahead of theatrical effect.

...hooting tugboat nosed up to an odd-looking 4,200-ton contraption in West Germany's Audorf shipyards (on the Kiel Canal) last week, made towlines fast and headed to sea, outward bound for the Persian Gulf, 6,800 miles away. No ordinary barge, the contraption bristled with a 140-ft. derrick, a crane, a heliport, had air-conditioned quarters for 50 men. Built at a cost of $3,500,000, it was the most advanced mobile oil-drilling platform ever built, and a device that its owners, British Petroleum Co. and Compagnie Franchise de Petroles, hope will open...
