...splendid, succinct and generally balanced appraisal of Jewish life in the U.S., circa 1965, is TIME'S essay on "The New American Jew" [June 25]. You have caught beautifully the pride of being a Jew, the pride of belonging within a great people, the pride of helping to build a nation, and the love of the U.S. Considering the history of the Jews for 57 centuries, this development is a monument to the validity of free institutions.

Wrote a French critic: "Even in a country that has no great culinary pride, an 8-ft.-wide hamburger of soggy casein and canvas is artistically unappetizing." Noguchi's two-ton Sun had to be floated up the Seine on a barge, and Calder's two-ton stabile Falcon required a derrick to hoist it over the museum's walls...
...comedienne, who starred opposite the late John Drew in a number of serious roles before taking a comedy part with Alfred Lunt in Clarence in 1919, won such raves that she thereafter played the fluttery dowager or scatterbrained mother for 35 years on Broadway (The Rivals) and in Hollywood (Pride and Prejudice), last appearing on Broadway as the mother-in-law to end them all in 1954's Lullaby; of a heart attack; in Manhattan...
