...disarmament conference in Washington, where the U.S. and Britain demanded a 10-10-6 naval ratio with Japan, the Japanese insisted that they would settle for no less than 10-10-7. But because Yardley was reading the Japanese secret cables from Tokyo, the U.S. confidently stood pat in the knowledge that the Japanese delegate would throw in his hand...
...perfect English (though he kept saying "freezed" for "froze"), Nasser discussed his plans to visit Moscow this month, and announced a Russian "loan" of 25 factories that will be set up in Egypt.

A newcomer: Opera Diva...
...play has honest details, good talk between Arthur and his pal, touching moments between Arthur and his girl (Carol Lynley). It has situations in which it is enough for people just to be young, or in trouble. But too much is pat or false, rigged up or spelled out; and at the end there is more softness on the playwrights' part than perception on the characters'. Truth, in Blue Denim, is too fitful, put-togetherness too frequent...
