...wonder whether the Alliance for Progress was worth it-or more necessary than ever. Guerrilla warfare in South Viet Nam and an easing of crisis in Berlin were the kinds of ups and downs of Communist harassment he had learned to live with. The lull in Berlin could remind him that there would be no such breathing space without the tax-supported military strength...
Nixon has not yet found his footing in these slippery wastes; he has neither chosen issues nor established an image for himself. These failures remind one of his performance in the presidential election, and the results could be equally disastrous for him. Only if Nixon adopts a strong posture can he possibly draw together the two or three Republican parties that now exist, or attract any sizable following among Democrats. Since registered Republicans make up only 40 per cent of the electorate, Nixon will have to repeat his 1960 achievement, when he captured about 25 per cent of the Democratic...
...simple story. But in Resnais' hands the love affair develops into a dramatic dialogue of appearance and reality in the manner of Luigi Pirandello. As the film begins, the seducer with seeming sincerity reminds the young woman that they have met before. With seeming sincerity she says she cannot remember when.

Wherever it was, they met and-can she really have forgotten?-fell in love. She says he must be joking. He insists...
Emil Hahn, the great anti-Bolshevik, leaps us at this point and calls Janning a traitor. As a director, Kramer thus bypasses no opportunity to remind America that crusading Anti-Communism has been used before as a means of encroaching on political freedom. Many liberal intellectuals have discounted the seriousness of the film because it relies on Hollywood's popular technique and personnel (Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland and Montgomery Clift turn in superb performances). These people should realize that there is a wealth of professional film-making skill in Hollywood, capable of more power and subtlety than any other cinema...
...spirit of the Salem witch-hunt haunts Washington again. Sarah McClendon's labeling of William A. Wieland and J. Clayton Miller, two State Department aides, as security risks, has aroused a storm of rumors and accusations which remind one of the days of McCarthy and McCloud. Although the President instantly rebuked Mrs. McClendon for her defamatory reference, her cry was soon taken up by Senator Olin D. Johnston (Dem. S.C.) and various House Republicans, whose opinions are presented in a recent issue of National Review. If such statements continue unchecked, Wieland's career may be ruined...
