South Viet Nam, where the U.S. is deeply committed in a bitter guerrilla war against the Reds, looks far more hopeful than it did a year ago. As the nation celebrated its seventh annual National Day last week, President Diem declared "unwavering faith in the future," and Sister-in-Law Madame Nhu was on hand in Saigon as a chic, steely illustration of that faith by laying the cornerstone for a new $100,000 social-welfare center.

...Name another candidate whom you hate." One respondent, a freshman, mentioned the ex-principal of his high school, who was running for the state legisature in Idaho.

Ngo Dinh Nhu, signed an austerity law aimed at protecting "the traditional virtue of Viet Nam" by banning beauty contests, cockfighting, abortions, contraceptives and boxing matches. Under the law, public or private dancing is punishable by fines ranging from $2.75 to $685, and up to three months' imprisonment...
...Condemned of Altona. The screenplay has perhaps the darkest plot that has ever thickened. A young German (Max Schell) feels so guilty about his part in the war that he becomes a dope addict. Various women try to cure him with love, first his sister, then his sister-in-law (Sophia Loren), but not even that much sex can help him. He has a fight with his ex-Nazi father (Fredric March), then a reconciliation. Then both men commit suicide...
