...nozzle is Fidel Castro. Subjected to Castro's purposeful troublemaking and his example, old wrongs throughout Latin America took on fresh passion. Castro has claimed all Latin American discontent and injustice for his own, and though not all dissenters march under Castro's banner, the majority would admit his example if not his leadership. Among the nations where Castro's brand of eroding revolution sees its best opportunities, few can be counted as immune, and many are dangerously vulnerable. Among the vulnerable...
Basil Kingsley Martin has been stirring such steam-heated passion since he became the Statesman's editor in 1931. He made it Britain's leading organ of dissent, with a circulation of 80,038-nearly twice that of its competitor, the Spectator (42,453). Now, after an uncharacteristically mild valedictory ("Thirty years at an office desk seems long enough"), Kingsley Martin, 63, is taking a new title-editorial director-and a new assignment as the Statesman's roving foreign correspondent. His chosen successor as editor: Assistant Editor John Freeman...
...Jacques is an ageless satyr, but instead of tootling the pipes of Pan in some mythic glade, he rummages in London garbage cans and beds down on park benches. He is human dirt, but of a kind that makes the earth earthy. She is refined past the point of passion, yet curiously unawakened, nervously expectant. In the hands of a less urbane stylist, a sexual encounter between Faith and Jacques could be a coarse joke. But British Novelist Tom Kaye omits four-letter words; he is celebrating a four-letter god, Eros, the deity he believes makes the world...
...quick to display their feelings; you certainly wouldn't say so from The Grand Maneuver. The acting was quite stolid and spiritless. M. Philippe, alternately confident and cowed, displayed a rather narrow range of emotions, and I wished at times that he would explode in anger or dissolve in passion, instead of just standing still and raising his eyebrows. Michele Morgan, the disillusioned milliner, was also rather static; it seemed that the director had instructed her to play a long-suffering, cynical woman, and that's about all she did. Brigitte Bardot, who appeared now and then as another dragoon...
...good accompanists seem to share Moore's enthusiasm, documented wittily if somewhat defensively in his 1944 book, The Unashamed Accompanist. England's Ivor Newton explains his passion for accompanying as resulting from "a phobia about being alone." Italy's Giorgio Favoretto is less interested in togetherness than in "uniting the arts of poetry and music," while France's Janopoulo confesses to lacking the "special soul and the kind of conviction that passes across the footlights." Whatever its appeal, accompanying has attracted first-rate pianists, among them the U.S.'s Paul Ulanowsky and Franz Rupp, England...
