...itself felt when the relations between his characters change. And Ophuls judges right. Given the lightness of his characters-any one of whom one sees for a maximum of twenty minutes-a script built on their "love"-relations could easily have become excessively patterned, illustrative only of a rigid scheme of life...
Taking no chances that year-end frivolity will get in the way of his scheme. Castro is delaying Christmas, New Year's and the Jan. 2 anniversary of the revolution. Celebrations would only "interrupt the harvest," he explained last week. So, he said: "We will save our suckling pig and Christmas Eve beans, Bacardi rum and beer for July."

Until now, the existing scheme of things has been supported by public ignorance and apathy. Yet millions of people are being victimized-the mobile executive who cannot afford a comfortable house, the city resident in the greatly overpriced apartment, the slum dweller who has a tough time finding any housing that qualifies as decent. The lives of these people are indeed being shaped...
