...breezy, beefy Reginald Maudling is a warm, relaxed middle-of-the-roader with a fast, fluent tongue and a nimble mind. He likes to recall the advice of his tutor at Oxford: "Philosophy progresses not by finding the answers but by progressively clarifying the questions." Reggie Maudling's talent for clarifying policy questions-and finding answers-has earned him recognition as one of the most vigorous intellects in British public life today, and a likely Prime Minister in the future...
...life, Käthe Kollwitz could remember her parents' bewilderment when, as a young girl in the East Prussian city of Königsberg, she first began to draw. They were perfectly willing to encourage her talent, but her choice of subjects was certainly unsettling. "After all," they would say, "life has its bright sides, too.

MCA last week volunteered to dispose of its talent business, which represents such stars as Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren and Jimmy Stewart but accounted last year for only $8,400,000, or about 10% of MCA's gross. The Justice Department wants much more than that. Convinced that MCA's divestiture plan would still leave the talent operation under the control of MCA executives, the Government demands that it be dissolved completely and the stars set free. The Justice Department also wants MCA's acquisition of Decca and Universal rescinded...
