...result, Mendelssohn is more the hero of the evening than Shakespeare; Moira Shearer's dancing far surpasses any actor's speech; the ass's head that Bottom wears is more entertaining than Stanley Holloway's Bottom. Only Robert Helpmann as Oberon can render Shakespeare's diction as well as dance, can become something fleet, mischievous, magical-and believably Shakespearean...
...attack as endangering "its own peace and safety," and will undertake in that event "to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes." The U.S. working draft had specified "Communist aggression." But Secretary of State Dulles was persuaded to take out the word "Communist" in order to render the agreement more attractive to the four "Colombo powers" (India, Indonesia, Burma, Ceylon-especially the last two) who had stayed away. In a separate protocol, the U.S. made it clear that it promised to react only to Communist attacks, in order not to get mixed up in brawls between...
...things off, the committee's Research Director Norman Dodd submitted a preliminary report that blandly hinted that there is something sinister about the foundations.

As staged by George Abbott and Jerome Robbins, The Pajama Game is a smash-hit mixture of racehorse and explosive; not in a long...
Flaubert's style, however, seems to deny effective translation. Writing in the idiom of the French middle class, using accepted cliches, and punning occasionally, he writes French that is very difficult to render into another language. Especially in the case of Bouvard and Pecuchet, many translations have lacked the spirit, even the satiric subtlety of the original. But this most recent attempt, published by New Directions and jointly translated by T. W. Earp and G. W. Stonier, accurately reveals the artistry of Flaubert to an English-reading audience...
