TIME [May 5] did one of its finest jobs in clarity in exposing a cross section of Vice President Nixon's courageous, non-political talk before the A.N.P.A. Every day, Nixon grows in stature as a great American statesman with the courage of his convictions while so many of his opponents spar in the political ring for punches designed to slam through the front pages. He must be doing all right for himself, because the shadows in the dark, slimy political alleys continue to try to smear him with the wornout, age-old charges never proved, but kept alive...
...ministers wound up a three-day meeting in Copenhagen's Christiansborg Palace, strange new sounds filled the air of Western Europe, and echoed in the big segment of the U.S. press that was cool or hostile to Dulles in his summit-conference position.

And the military junta that has been in charge since the fall of Dictator Gustavo Rojas Pinilla last May has been waiting with thinning patience...
After giving Dr. No the giant-land-crab treatment, the New Statesman's Critic Paul Johnson suggested that Fleming fans were psychosocial cousins of prison torturers in Algeria. In the current Twentieth Century, Bernard Bergonzi called Fleming's attitude toward sex that "of a dirty-minded schoolboy." He noted that the women are usually pushovers in a Fleming novel, and cited a bra-and-pantie-clad minx named Tiffany Case, who says not too long after she meets Bond: "I want it all, darling...
