Ever since famed Czech Distance Runner Emil Zatopek, 34, brashly told an Italian newsman last April that U.S. athletes are the "best in the world" and will win this summer's Olympics in Melbourne, he has not again run or prophesied on the sunnier side of the Iron Curtain. Last week the Czech Ministry of Sports announced that capitalist-praising Zatopek will not compete again until he recovers from a sprained ankle (a fortnight ago, Iron-Man Zatopek ran a poor fifth in a 5,000-meter race in Prague).

Batlle Berres' itinerary calls for a state dinner with Vice President and Mrs. Nixon in Washington, a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan, and a visit with President Eisenhower at Gettysburg.

It also faces a bigger danger in that the more it succeeds by being different from Hollywood, the more it may try to imitate Hollywood. So far, the Italians have steered clear of both perils, and their lusty young movie industry shows plenty of signs of further growth...
...regional in tone. And no other U.S. critic has worked so hard, and so successfully, to show what it felt like to be a writer in America; to bring the writers to life-if not often in the life of their secret hearts, at least in that of their sunnier public faces...
