...misfortune to arrive on the scene late, with the result that many allusions to certain characters, both quick and dead, were difficult to place. Raymond Chandler's story is complex, and it seems that a William Faulkner, who later rose to some measure of literary fame, has tampered with it along with two other fellows who were attempting to make a living out in Hollywood about 15 or 20 years ago; and Mr. Faulkner, according to certain critics, has never excelled in the virtues of simplicity anyhow. But this is quibbling, and with the movie the CRIMSON can have...
Bearded rabbis in frock coats and black hats stepped solemnly down King George Avenue to the pale gold building, crossed the pastel rose and green entrance hall and climbed the Galilee-marble staircase (or took the elevator) to the huge reception hall on the fifth floor. They mingled there with a crush of notables as international as Israel herself: robed prelates of the Greek Orthodox and Coptic Churches, Moslem and Druse dignitaries, and members of the diplomatic corps (who kept their hats on like their Israeli hosts). There were even some English ladies in picture hats-guests of Benefactor Wolf...
...beneath a tangle of yellow hair, might suggest a choir boy-which he has been. He is exuberantly gregarious, unsophisticated and, on the surface at least, totally untempera-mental.

Part of the drop was due to a seasonal pickup in outdoor workers, yet initial jobless claims for the week also turned down by 19,800. ¶Retail sales rose in April to $16.1 billion, 2% better than March. Most important, durable goods registered a gain for the first time this year, while housing, slowed by a cold winter and a wet spring, was picking up speed rapidly. April housing jumped to an annual rate...
...Rose-Hip Jam. The patient, democratic Swiss provide Sam with a defense counsel, who drops in every day for a little chat and begs Sam to own up to being Stiller. And soon. Stiller's wife, who is "convinced that she knows her husband better than he knows himself," arrives at the prison and "recognizes" Sam immediately. Julika is a beauty, with hair "red, like rosehip jam," and the authorities encourage Sam to take long walks with her and reminisce about "their" married life. Since Julika is just Sam's type, he soon finds himself making love...
