...opening exhibit the craft museum chose to show a 314-item cross section of new trends, ranging from Potter Peter Voulkos' hefty vase to SculptorWelder Harry Bertoia's rod and slab screen in bronze and chrome. Pointing out that the exhibit will travel, Aileen Osborn Webb said that she does not "think of the museum as a New York activity." By sending shows on tour she hopes to raise standards and open new horizons for creative craftsmen all over...
...over the Cenral American jungle, the pilot (Robert Ryan) has a black-coffee-and-dark-glasses hangover, and the copilot (Keith Andes) s a scared kid with no more flying time in lis log than a week-old wren. Even less eassuring is the passenger list: a politial assassin (Rod Steiger), a small-time hood (Jesse White), a drunken cop (Fred Clark), a fallen woman (Anita Ekberg) who is on her uppers-a condition which, n the shapely case of Actress Ekberg, eaves her with plenty to cushion her fall.

...Measuring Rod. History has not yet balanced its books on Jawaharlal Nehru. If, despite his Caesarism and his ill-conceived sponsorship of Bulganin and Khrushchev, India survives as a unified nation without going Communist, Nehru's vanities and eccentricities will become merely a playground for biographers. Even his role in international affairs will seem neither so mischievous as his critics now think, nor so important as his admirers believe. History may not judge Nehru by his foreign policy, which, because it is essentially negative, may loom less large as time goes...
