...access-one that the Communists have been whittling away since last March. War of Nerves. Even more important, the East German move touched on the very status of West Berlin. West Germany has always maintained that West Berlin is a part of the Federal Republic, though, of course, under special Allied control. As symbolic support for that claim, the Bonn regime has three times in the past 15 years convened the Federal Assembly in West Berlin to select a President. Next month German legislators will meet again in the former German capital to choose a successor to retiring West German...
Divorces are hardly news in the cinema world. But when Star Alain Delon and his svelte wife Nathalie came to a final parting last week on the grounds of "serious mutual insult," a great many people found the event worthy of special note as the latest and inevitable in stallment in one of those long-running scandals that Paris so cherishes.

Until officials of California's penal system warned that Universal Life ministers would get no special privileges, Hensley was doing a brisk business in the state prisons...
Even as a poet's poet, though, Pushkin is still very special and-in translation-frustrating. His verse is elusively simple, unadorned by such easily translatable characteristics as splashy imagery or intellectual abstractions. Its strength lies rather in subtly suggestive tones and rhythms. No less a language snob and stylist than Vladimir Nabokov labored on and off for almost a decade to translate Pushkin's acknowledged masterpiece, the verse novel Eugene Onegin. Nabokov's rendering of this romantic (and mock romantic) panorama of Russian society was brilliant; yet even he decided to settle for strict literalism rather...
