...McGuire, Zeidler's opponent, published advertisements (later repudiated by McGuire) which declared that Milwaukee was infested with marijuana and liquor-crazed juveniles and that "hoodlum mobs" ranged the city "with wolf-pack viciousness." Despite this and a whispering campaign that labeled him a "nigger lover" (TIME, April 2), Socialist Zeidler last week won his third consecutive term by a majority of 23,000 votes (out of 214,000 cast). But regardless of the voters' verdict, the whispering campaign had been damaging, and the racial tensions it had aroused would continue to haunt Milwaukee for a long time...
...Socialist Premier Guy Mollet is a Frenchman who seems so shy and timid that in World War II the Gestapo once let him go, after arresting him as a Resistance leader, because they could not believe he had the requisite tough qualities. Last week this deceptively mild ex-high-school teacher of English stirred up an international commotion by challenging the foundations of Western policy and criticizing France's allies (particularly the U.S.) in terms more caustic than any other French Premier has used since the days of Charles de Gaulle...
...when critics from Reykjavik to London to New Delhi are potshotting at the U.S., there was very little freshness in Mollet's words; the newness was that they should come from the mouth of a French Premier. Only three weeks before, Mollet's Foreign Minister and Fellow Socialist Christian Pineau had made a calculatingly indiscreet speech suggesting that there was no longer a common purpose in Western foreign policy (TIME, March 12). Behind such taunts and twists were a whole hatful of political factors, not the least Mollet's own political predicament...
Mollet, in his ten weeks as chief of France's first Socialist-run government in eight years, has had frustratingly little chance to carry out Socialist policies. Like most Socialists a visceral pacifist, he has been compelled by events to call up troops to wage war in Algeria. Pledged to enact the welfare state, he must refrain from Socialist economics because the Algerian campaign eats up all his revenues. With only the field of foreign affairs left in which to strike popular attitudes, Mollet and Pineau have accordingly thrown themselves with ideological ardor into pooh-poohing the Soviet military...
Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet has been a favorite of Russian audiences ever since it was premiered at Leningrad's Kirov Theater in 1940. It has plenty of pageantry, a familiar, heart-wrenching plot sufficiently removed from the realities of the Socialist state to be acceptable on all levels, and a fat part for Russia's legendary Prima Ballerina Galina Ulanova, now 46. The Russians, well aware that...
