...Patently parallel, the two affairs reiterate a favorite Bergman theme: love is an illusory, ephemeral phenomenon; understanding is possible only where the illusion of love is absent. The characteristically expressive acting typical of Bergman's more or less regular troupe serves to illustrate the theme. Miss Andresson's versatile transformation from the tomboy of A Lesson in Love to the model in Dreams is particularly note-worthy, and Miss Dahlbeck exhibits control like very few actresses around...
Rights Without Bites. Puerto Rico's Commonwealth arrangement has no parallel in U.S. territorial history. Granted by Congress in 1952, it gives the island many rights of statehood, but without the responsibilities. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, may travel to the mainland without restriction; they need no passports and come under no immigration quotas. At home, they elect their own local government. They are not entitled to vote in U.S. presidential elections, or to voting representation in Congress. But they do elect a "Resident Commissioner," who sits in the U.S. House and participates in debates involving Puerto Rico...
Furthermore, if we alter the title of Dallas's program, "The Principles of American Freedom in Contrast to the Tyranny of Communism," we might come up with "The Principles of Russian Freedom in Contrast to the Tyranny of Capitalism," which is probably the title of the parallel course offered in Moscow or Leningrad...
...pronouncements. The class should feel no responsibility for reaching an agreement." Says San Francisco Superintendent Harold Spears: "I think the story of Russia speaks for itself. All you've got to do is teach the facts. You don't have to indoctrinate." Teachers often depend on a parallel study of American institutions: Chicago students are exposed to contrasting quotes on the same subject, such as Stalin and Thomas Jefferson on the rights of the minority. A sixth-grade class...
...conference that met at Venice to discuss new methods of archaeology. Called a proton magnetometer, the gadget is based on a principle of nuclear physics discovered only a few years ago. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (protons) are, in effect, tiny magnets, and they line up like compass needles parallel to the earth's magnetic field. When nudged out of alignment, they oscillate for a few seconds, the speed of their oscillation changing with the local strength of the earth's magnetism. Buried objects that affect the field show up plainly...
