...months abroad. The university charges only about $1,000-the amount it collects for a boarding semester at Stanford-for plane fare to Germany, board, room and tuition. Thoughtfully, Stanford officials made no provision for return flights to the U.S. Best evidence of Landgut Burg's success: the university is seriously considering a similar outpost in Florence, has in the back of its mind a Stanford-in-France and a Stanford-in-Mexico...
Eaton maintains that "what the world pays most attention to is success," and as a financial success he thinks the world should also listen to his political opinions. Perhaps the world is a little skeptical of them, but there is every reason why Khrushchev should agree. According to Eaton, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is preaching "insane fanaticism," West German rearmament is "begging for trouble," recognition of Red China is "only common sense," and the U.S. position on Hungary is "stark hypocrisy."

Small World's landing came as a relief to Mail editors. They had touted the balloon flight as the Kon-Tiki voyage of the air, then began to downplay it when the balloon Small World was unreported for three weeks.

This success rests finally on the subtlety with which these elements, and the acting, were made to combine and to complement each other and the text; probably, therefore, (though no one can be sure who is finally responsible for what) this Twelfth Night...
...biggest camera hogs in the business. Robert Morley and Alastair Sim bear small resemblance to the characters Shaw had in mind, but in company with John Robinson and Felix Aylmer they make a ludicrously Aristophanic chorus of sawbones. On the serious side, Director Asquith has had more surprising success. Dirk Bogarde (Doctor in the House, et seq.), best known in the U.S. as a sort of British Robert Wagner, turns in a remarkably subtle and mature performance as the heroic villain. As for the heroine, any competent judge of film flesh might confidently have ranked Leslie (Gigi) Caron a little...
