Broad-Minded. It was Hedda, Hedda says, who, after all, told Mike Todd how to make a movie, told Sam Goldwyn how to cast one, and helped Bernie Schwartz become Tony Curtis. By reasoning with Actor James Dean she saved the production of Giant at a time when Dean was absenting himself from the set in a fury at Director George Stevens. By Hedda's testimony, practically the only Hollywood personality she has never been able to charm, bully or cajole is Marlon Brando. Her single, memorable interview with him lasted half an hour, during which...
...Bronnert, whose thesis topic is British policy towards Palestine in 1930, reviews The Balfour Declaration by Leonard Stein. Werner L. Gundersheimer, a Junior Fellow at work on a book in sixteenth century French history, reviews a study of Jewish-Gentile relations in medieval and modern times. And Michael Schwartz, a frequent contributor to these columns and editor of The Harvard Review, assesses Letting Go by Philip Roth.

...remaining two articles, Bruce M. Galphin's discussion of how Georgia desegregated peacefully, and Susan B. Schwartz '64's analysis of Negro voter registration in Raleigh, N.C., restore the generally high level. Galphin is a Nieman Fellow from the Atlanta Constitution, and devotes himself to a presentation and analysis of the concrete facts which he, as a journalist, had occasion to know rather well. Unlike Stone's piece, Galphin's article has more than local significance; Georgia stands almost alone among Deep Southern states in having accepted, however unwillingly, the principle of school integration without violence: perhaps it will...
...Susan Schwartz gained her knowledge of conditions in Raleigh as a member of CORE and the Civil Rights Coordinating Committee. Articles by civil rights activists in other publications have quite frequently been marked by a highly emotional, and hortatory presentation. Miss Schwartz's careful avoidance of this traditional approach lends her observations dignity and force...
