...RUNNING MAN. With Britain's Sir Carol Reed (The Third Man) deftly applying each turn of the screw, Lee Remick and Laurence Harvey sweat it out as a couple who feign death (his) and grief (hers), then flee to Spain with the insurance money...
...patrician ritual. In the old days, no well-bred European kissed a woman's hand before noon, or outdoors (except at garden parties or the race track), or if she wore gloves-and not at all, in most countries, if she was unmarried.

Born in Spain and brought up in Boston, he was never really at home in Europe or the U.S. At a time when philosophy was robustly assured, Santayana remained a quiet skeptic. Other philosophers wrote a brisk, matter-of-fact style; Santayana wrote a highly poetic one. They were aggressively liberal and believed in the inevitability of progress; Santayana was a hermitlike conservative who yearned for tradition, a settled order...
