...unbeaten British and French troops from Suez two years ago-has become an Egyptian holiday. Last week it was observed with massed schoolboy gymnastics and by the symbolic refloating of one of the ships sunk to block the canal.

His oratory hardly matched the invective he has expended on the West, but it was a start...
Exit Miller. Enter Jean-Paul Sartre. In this French film version of the play, for which he wrote a capable and vivid script, Sartre, the famed existentialist and sometime fellow traveler, has somewhat enlarged the political reference in which...
...piano she led the orchestra (30 strings) in the Concerto No. 1 in D Minor and the Concerto No. 7 in G Minor. As always, the Tureck style was unhurried, her touch firm and glistering, her phrasing spacious.

In World War II Archbishop Godfrey also served as chargé d'affaires in the Polish government in exile. In 1953 he was made Archbishop of Liverpool, and three years later became Archbishop of Westminster and Primate of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales...
