...Miss Ullmann is deft and charming despite it all. When she kisses Albert goodbye the morning after their beach idyll, she brushes her lips close to his face in a moment of quiet poignancy; later, when she describes Albert and defends their relationship, she speaks with glee and the pride of a woman feeling a kind of renewal...
Died. Louis Stephen St. Laurent, 91, Prime Minister of Canada from 1948 to 1957 and a symbol of national pride and achievement; in Quebec. A man of patrician and benevolent manner who was often referred to as "Uncle Louis" by his countrymen, St. Laurent reluctantly left a successful Quebec law practice in 1941 to become Minister of Justice in the wartime Liberal government of Mackenzie King.

Jason is no longer the young, virile hero, wandering aimlessly through the Hellenic world so absolutely self-confident. He is a king without a country, a thinker with no outlet for his ideals.

And out of this need grows the new conservatism the insistence upon a standard where none any longer exists...

She practices unnatural posture to fluff out her husband's public pride, and she compromises the sticky edges of her personality to fit into his mold of ideal femininity. To wheedle money out of him, (she lacks, of course, an income of her own) she performs a child's trick of jumping up and down squealing like a partridge distraught. It is a disturbing picture--a woman denied her womanhood cannot...
