...most of the attention has focused on Brandt's Ostpolitik. In addition to the East Berlin meetings, talks resumed in Moscow last week between Egon Bahr, Brandt's chief foreign adviser, and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. In Warsaw, Polish officials prepared to start a new round of discussions with a West German delegation this week. Meanwhile, Brandt was in Britain seeking support for his policy. After receiving an honorary doctorate of civil law at Oxford, Brandt said in Latin that his aim was "an equitable and lasting peace system in Europe under which individuals and nations...
...disease; in Rome. Neville had that knack of turning up wherever big news was breaking. As a New York Herald Tribune reporter, he arrived in Spain just a day before the outbreak of civil war; as a TIME staffer, he was in Warsaw the day German troops crossed the Polish border.

Calcutta! the emphasis is on the profane, on Dionysian revels, a stripping to the body. A reverse movement is also present, with Grotowski illuminating the profanation...
...Uncle Sam." Mr. Sammler's planet is perhaps not the planet Sammler would have chosen. Sammler is a Polish Jew by birth and persecution, one-eyed by blow of a gun butt, a chance survivor of a Nazi mass burial, an alumnus of a guerrilla band. Earlier, during a period of happiness and snug snobbery, he was a journalist in London, a member of the Bloomsbury literary set. Now he is old, a friend and pensioner of his middle-aged nephew, a wealthy New York gynecologist named Gruner. He is tall, dried, durable, with a floppy great...
