...Mention It. How was the Reds' program being received by Kerala's masses? In a few districts there were protests, mostly by small landlords, but by and large, plain Keralans seemed all too delighted with their new government. After all, nobody liked the cops. Besides, there was the never-ending flow of wonderful promises pouring out of the Communists' legislative cornucopia in Trivandrum, and nobody yet talked about the long-range fate of the thousands who will be out of work as production falls or plantations close down altogether...
Dressed in black with shinily greased black hair and slinking step, Richard Waring does a superbly hammy job of the treacherous Don John. When he enters with an about-to-foreclose-the-mortgage leer at the outset and proclaims, "I am a plain-dealing villain," obviously subtlety is wholly out of place. As soon as Beatrice gives him a rose and departs, he makes a big thing of dropping it on the ground and kicking it into a hole...
...bubbling lava of this decade's news be captured by human understanding and shaped into summary that makes plain sense?

James shook his fist furiously, but Coke stood his ground for the enduring greatness of England. Quod...
...linking any ban on nuclear tests with an enforcible ban on further output of nuclear arms, wrote Bulganin, the West is "condemning in advance" any chance of agreement. Russia, he made plain, is willing to play only if the nations agree to ban the tests, ban the bomb-and, of course, ban any inspection system too. With a cynical show of amiability ("With the best will in the world we cannot see ..."), Bulganin proceeded to accuse the British of perfecting "the most lethal and destructive" weapons, under cover of "endless talks on the desirability of disarmament," and to charge that...
