...scenario, freely adapted from a short play by Prosper Merimee, is just the sort Renoir likes - a nice, loose-fitting smock, with plenty of frayed places for inspiration to stitch up at leisure. In The Golden Coach, as in The River, he has stitched (with the help of his nephew Claude Renoir, who supervised the photography in both pictures) a Joseph's coat of heart-catching colors. The colors weave and flow in a rhythm that carries one image vigorously into the next. The flow is swept along, too, by the apt and fetching musical score of Antonio Vivaldi...

...America, said the President, no one group can really prosper unless all Americans prosper. "We are one family made up of millions of American families with the same hopes for a full and happy life. We must not become a nation divided into factions, or special groups and hostile cliques. We believe that the slum, the outdated highway, the poor school system, deficiencies in health protection, the loss of a job, and the fear of poverty in old age-in fact, any real injustice in the business of living-penalizes all of us. And this Administration is committed to help...

...district beneath the dust and roar of the el. A nervous boy, he belonged to a grade-school group that met one night a week at the Webster Literary Club, where each boy would write and read a composition and all would discuss them. When the family began to prosper, they moved to Everett, a Boston suburb, where Harry attended high school. His grades (79 in French, 85 in chemistry) gave no clear sign of his later brilliance...

...foreign producers are willing to take the gambles American producers accept as a matter of course. The constantly changing demands of U.S. consumers can only be met by investment in new products and more efficient production methods that will lower prices. Foreign producers willing to meet such terms prosper, tariffs or no. British auto producers, for example, have shrewdly pushed sales of sport cars, something Americans wanted but did not have; last year they sold 31,243 cars in the U.S., far more than any other foreign country. The big lesson producers abroad must learn is that the main cause...
