Total disarmament, to be sure, is not the only possible forward step. Some sort of half-way measure is more likely to emerge from negotiation. But along this line Khrushchev's particular proposals require very careful scrutiny, for they seem designed to weaken the West far more than the Soviet Union. The Russians ask the elimination of foreign bases and nuclear weapons, followed, not accompanied, by inspection. Even if the Soviets carried out this process in good faith, their superior ground forces would give them a military advantage which might well tempt them into provoking limited peripheral conflicts without fear...
...England before the war." But the form of Checkhov and the style and content of Shaw combine in a haunting semi-darkness that retains its excitement when the hard bright light of ordinary Shaw tires the mind's eye.

Look Back in Anger (Woodfall, Warner), when it opened on the London stage three years ago, became a sort of Uncle Tom's Diggings, fanning a flame and suggesting a name for the new literary group that was soon known as the Angry Young Men. Its hero, Jimmy Porter, bellowed rage at religion, the Sunday Times, and his mother-in-law, a woman, he rasped, who was as "rough as a night in a Bombay brothel...
