...Chinese and Russians berate each other for straying from the path of true Marxism-Leninism. Hungarian Communist Philosopher Gyorgy Lukacs makes a distinction between the "disfigured Marxism" that is official party doctrine and what he calls "unfalsified Marxism," while the Yugoslav magazine Praxis warns that effective Marxism "must be completely free of party pressure." And Polish Writer Jan Szewczyk muses publicly whether Marxism is "a bolt of Red cloth that anyone may cut in whatever shape pleases...
Ultimately, the disillusioned freelancer can return to being an organization man. That was the path taken by the Times's Gerald Walker, and he has no regrets. "During my entire six years of freelancing," he says, "I thought of almost nothing but money, as most freelancers do. Now I expend about one-fifth the energy as an editor, and I go home at 5:30 and forget about it until the next day." But in spite of all the hazards, freelancers continue to avoid the temptations of security. At one point when he was feeling "particularly unstable," Brock Brower...
When the world beats a path to his door, the run-of-the-garret inventor is apt to be about as calm as a Rube Goldberg machine going double time. Denmark's Karl Kroyer is a different sort.

Proposals for two interstate highways that would displace 20,000 of Newark's Negroes were among the most serious grievances of slum dwellers before last month's disastrous riots in that city...
Unlike her husband, Lady Macbeth lacks imagination. But she does not lack will. Yet Miss Nye repeatedly lets her strong will go slack. Or take the small but vital moment that trips up so many actresses. Macbeth is reluctant to choose the path of murder and says, "If we should fail--," to which Lady Macbeth replies, "We fail"--two tiny words. The Folio punctuation is no clear guide here. The words admit three groups of interpretation, depending on whether they are regarded as being followed by a question mark, an exclamation point, or a period. Mrs. Siddons, history's most...
