While he was being politically undermined by Moscow, Ulbricht plunged desperately ahead with attempts to salvage his trouble-racked seven-year plan. Accentuating East Germany's dependent status as an industrial satellite of Russia, he eliminated production of virtually all goods that are not needed for export to the Communist bloc. Ulbricht's riskiest move has been to demand more work for less pay. It was his previous boosting of work norms that triggered the 1953 uprising, and today East German workers are again threatening to strike. Says one: "We will go to prison, probably, but what...
Charlotte has a seven-year widow's itch for a mate. Humbert obliges, but only because he has a very special itch for her gum-chewing, Coke-swigging daughter Lolita (Sue Lyon). The shock effect of this is dimmed, since the film ducks the duty of specifying Lolita's age and gives the part to a girl of 14 who looks a round 17.

...ruin but he'll be around for a long time." Last week slight, silver-haired Segni, 71, proved the accuracy of the description. He outlasted his rivals during five days of cutthroat politicking and nine closely contested ballots in the Chamber of Deputies, was finally elected to a seven-year term as President of Italy. Quipped Antonio Segni's partisans in a somewhat blasphemous parody of the miraculous vision that came to the Emperor Constantine as he marched on Rome in the 4th century: In hoc Segni vinces...
