Three-Way Divide. Less noisily, Faure and supporters made plans of their own. Working agreements were concluded for alliances among Faure's right-wing Radicals, Robert Schuman's Popular Republicans, and Antoine Pinay's conservative Independents. With the main battle lines drawn, political observers guessed that Faure-Pinay rightists would emerge as the biggest winners with about 250 seats, Mendes and his allies with perhaps 150; the Communists were expected to pick up 20 seats or so for a total of 120. Thus the probability was a new Assembly divided into three major blocs, with no clear...
...community integration has not proved popular. It breaks a paternalism that Creole workers have come to like, and it bucks the Latin American tradition of centralized rather than community government. The plan is also open to the charge that Creole is evading established responsibilities. The company replies that "social progress is accelerated by the encouragement of individual initiative," and insists that it will still pay its bills, e.g., tuition for workers' children. Company officials patiently look forward to the time when onetime company towns will be self-governing communities of self-respecting homeowners, and Creole will get credit...
...DESPITE today's boom prices in the market for popular paintings (TIME, Dec. 5), art collecting need not be any more expensive a hobby than photography or sailing. To make that point, the City Art Museum of St. Louis last week was staging a show of 367 art works priced at $4 to $1,200 apiece. Art objects of various neglected periods proved to be even better bargains than contemporary pictures by little-known artists. Sample rates: a bronze reindeer from ancient Persia for $632.50, a 5,000-year-old "female divinity" from Sumer for $103.50, an ancient Egyptian...

But there is also a large quota of safe and popular items-currently a new Madama Butterfly (the seventh on LP) ^and Oistrakh playing Lalo's Symphonic Espagnole. On the chic side, there are exquisite performances of the most sensuous musings of Debussy (Trois Nocturnes, La Mer) and Ravel (Daphnis et Chloe, L'Heure Espagnole}. There are also imposing works of Stravinsky and Bartok...
...movies caught her up in the mid-'30s. and in the next ten years she made about a dozen pictures-all of them bad most of them popular, some of them good experience. By 1944, when Roberto Rossellini offered her the lead in Open City Magnam had developed a style that was to set the acting fashion in Italy from that day to this. She called it realismo and overnight the narrow highways and byways of Italy were crowded with "Ma-gnamni," who frumped their hair down over their eyes, ripped a few strategic seams m their cheap cotton...
