...Four conference. Dulles has by no means abandoned his liberation policy, although he stressed that he did not think that the West should attempt liberation by armed force from outside. The Austrian treaty,* in a very real sense, liberated an area of Europe. This example might have a profound effect in making Austria's satellite neighbors more eager for freedom...

Fry's poetry seldom does this-it seems to float on the surface, a frosting on the dramatic cake. But if the poet cannot be profound, he at least knows how to be amusing.

To depict sordidness itself as a component of great actions is also a task, and Miss Karmel seems aware of it. Furthermore, her ability to marshall the facts themselves so vividly that her probing of them appears glaringly inadequate, indicates the measure of her technical accomplishment. It is the most basic responsibility to that technique, however, which I find lacking...
