...reason why U.S. travelers in the Orient have often been tempted to buy goods made in Red China. Not until last week did the State Department belatedly drop its total prohibition against such imports and declare that returning tourists may bring back $100 worth of Chinese merchandise (see THE NATION). The dispensation delighted shopkeepers in Singapore and along Hong Kong's sleazy Upper and Lower Lascar Row ("Cat Street"). In some of the larger Peking-controlled emporiums in Hong Kong, English-speaking shopgirls stood like smiling spring flowers beneath red banners and Mao portraits, waiting to take some...
Disheartening Earnings. The stock market faces some problems it did not have in 1966. Investors are worried about the likelihood of higher taxes on capital gains and a reduction in the oil-depletion allowance (see THE NATION). Corporate profits are another disheartening factor. Earnings remained at record levels all through the 1966 market slide. This year most companies reported rises for the second quarter, but there have been some major exceptions, notably in steel, autos and airlines (see following story). Compared with the second quarter of last year, earnings fell 17% at Kaiser Industries, 17% at General Motors...
...because, as she suggests, he could not resolve in himself the conflict he hoped to portray in Boris? The slim hope remains that a completed variation of the manuscript may yet be found.

Babel's name may have been rehabilitated, but some of his work remains incorrigible...
...question of young Wells, the born loser: "What if I'm wrong?" When he was only 25, Wells wrote: "Science is a match that man has just got alight . . . It is a curious sensation, now that the preliminary splutter is over and the flame burns up clear, to see his hands lit and just a glimpse of himself and the patch he stands on visible, and around him, in place of all that human comfort and beauty he had anticipated-darkness still." It is this Wells, awed, uncertain, a bit frightened, who is still a brother of today...
There are two reasons to see Stiletto: Actors Joseph Wiseman and Patrick O'Neal. It is a rococo and frequently incoherent gangster yarn extracted like a rotten tooth from an old Harold Robbins novel. Stiletto seems to have been written only to take a share of the profits made by such stylish thrillers as Point Blank and Bullitt. And it quickly becomes obvious that Director Bernard Kowalski (who also made Krakatoa, East of Java) is not up to that sort of competition. Judged on sheer acting talent, however, Wiseman and O'Neal are equal to almost anything...
