...Legal Way. The U.N.'s Dag Hammarskjold has chosen a second, softer, lawyer's way of dealing with Nasser, and this is what made all the confusing headlines last week. Hammarskjold works to a plan which requires him to ignore alike the Egyptian calumnies, insults and niggling harassments against his UNEF and the "appeaser" cries of the frustrated Israelis. Taking off for Cairo, he announced, as optimistically as Hammarskjold ever gets: "We may be able to establish a situation in Gaza that will give all parties concerned satisfaction, including Israel...

Holiday for Lovers is not just a carefully guided tour of a play, it is a no less carefully chaperoned one. On occasion Playwright Alexander can make tart enough remarks, but always in Holiday for Lovers actions speak softer than words. There are no real family rows or fatherly rages, only mention of them.

Earl Warren has gained weight since he left California. His hair is whiter, softer and fluffier, and a benign fullness has smoothed from his face all the small pinches of arrogance that led California political rivals to dub him the Earl of Warren. He loves the Supreme Court, presides over its sessions, both public and private, with easy skill. The eight Associate Justices love Warren, and under his influence work together as rarely before. But by last week, when Warren and his colleagues put their robes in mothballs after one of the busiest terms in history, the U.S. Supreme Court...
