...description to suggest that Britain throw itself immediately into Europe to make certain of its association with dynamism rather than with stasis. It would admittedly have to restructure or get rid of its high-tariff industries (the smaller ones are particularly vulnerable), to reconcile Labourites and housewives to a steep rise in food prices, and to impose a weird system of planning heavily favoring rapid-growth sectors. The food problem, which would arise as soon as Common-wealth produce were no longer able to enter duty-free, might possibly be mitigated if the E.E.C. allowed Britain to maintain...
Miss Wood as Maria, Richard Beymer as Tony, and Tamblyn as Riff are all surprisingly good. But the star of the movie is Rita Moreno, as Anita. Her performance in the duet "I Have a Love" with Maria is all by itself worth the rather steep price of admission...
What astonished the audience was the singers' ability to negotiate Schonberg's dissonances and steep intervals with a familiarity that made the composer seem almost as accessible as the Gemutlichkeitladen German romantics. Sinewy and biting, the music called for an unerring sense of rhythm and pitch, and the Gregg Smith Singers responded on cue like a well-oiled machine.

It was, said a delighted local...
...Manhole. The increase of people hooked on sound matches the steep curve of radio sales. Buyers snatched up a few thousand portable transistor sets when they first hit the market in late 1954; last year, including Japanese-made sets that brought the prices down to well under $10, unit sales rose to a record 8,500,000. Like other addicts, the bleatniks are ingenious in their devotion to their pastime. They attend baseball games, trusty radio in hand, and tune in on the sportscaster to be certain that the announcer sees what the bleacherite sees; sometimes the fan tunes...
Once a Hudson River whaling port and a headquarters for George Washington's colonial army, steep-sloping, tree-shaded Newburgh (pop. 31,000) has long been a shopping center for the green and pleasant fruit farms that prosper in the rolling hills of Orange County. Since World War II, most of the farms have been serviced by migrant workers, mostly Negroes from the Deep South, who drift from harvest to harvest during the long summer. Inevitably, many migrants have settled in Newburgh; since 1950 the number of Negro residents has risen 151%, even though the city's overall...
