Perhaps it is because the U.S. has entered a new era of romanticism that exalts esthetic feeling and the passive enjoyment of sensuous spectacle. Perhaps it is because the dance has developed artistic strength and social consciousness. Whatever the cause, the cheerful effect is clear. American audiences in recent years have been enjoying a steady boom in good ballet...
Economists in recent years have become the most influential of all scholars, taking their place as fixtures in the chancelleries, banks and board rooms of the world. Last week two longtime leaders in this increasingly glamorous science were finally given the ultimate honor, the first Nobel Prize in Economics, the only new category added to the awards since they were started in 1901. The $72,700 prize was shared by Dr. Ragnar Frisch, 74, of Norway, and Dr. Jan Tinbergen, 66, of The Netherlands. The award was for their joint development in the 1930s of the esoteric but highly influential...
...models are far harder to build for rich, complex countries than for simpler economies. "Frisch and I started this work in the 1930s, in the days of the economic depression," says Jan Tinbergen.

...recent past, Producer-Director Stanley Kramer has been notorious for the fustian message movie (Guess Who's Coming to Dinner; Ship of Fools). But in his adaptation of Robert Crichton's bestseller he has wisely opted for entertainment.

Strutting on the cobblestones, cowering before Rosa, exchanging peasantries with the Germans, he becomes a figure of comic-operatic stature. If Quinn is Italo, Magnani is Italy. The ancient sorrow and strength of the nation are inscribed on a face that...
...Left and revisionist historians have argued in recent years that, in fact, Acheson and Truman fired the opening shots of the cold war, that such a policy as the Truman Doctrine was the equivalent of bombarding Fort Sumter. Acheson is aware of the argument, and like the careful lawyer he is, presents a formidable brief for the defense. Soviet troops had occupied the northern provinces of Iran; to force them out strong American pressure was needed. The Truman Doctrine, which combined military and economic aid, was developed only to counter Soviet designs upon the faltering regimes of Greece and Turkey...
