...sunlit Georgian harmony of Yale Divinity School, the 90-member Central Committee of the World Council of Churches began its tenth annual meeting last week, the first major World Council meeting in the U.S. since 1954. In attendance: 131 delegates, consultants and guests from 21 nations representing 170 million Protestant, Eastern Orthodox and Anglican church members. First question facing the nine-day meeting: How loud should the church's voice sound in the ears of the world's statesmen...
...play, which made a star out of Kim, was pared down by some 40 minutes for TV but lost little of its tenuous, dreamlike quality. As a homely, stammering drudge who is trying to reclaim her no-account husband just out of jail, Actress Stanley gave a sunlit performance.

Still the result was pleasant enough-and the reaction encouraging enough-to incite Mills to plan a lot more traveloguing. On his agenda: Anna Magnani's Rome, Laurence Olivier's London, perhaps even Marlon (Teahouse of the August Moon) Brando's Tokyo...
...Nabokov is in the strange position of a man whose career is leading a double life, for the most remarkable demonstration of his fictional powers is a novel virtually unknown in the U.S. or abroad. As dark and demoniac as Pnin is gentle and sunlit, this novel has in the past year become a sotto voce scandal on two continents. Lolita, published in English by France's Olympia Press, gives the pornography-v.-art debate its most combustible tinder since Judge Woolsey handed down his famed decision on Ulysses...
