...SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN and RING OF BRIGHT WATER are two children's films that do not talk down to their audience. Mountain is about a Canadian lad who runs away from home to live in the wilderness, Ring about a London accountant who adopts an otter. Both films are slight, sincere and very pleasant...
AFTER a sterile year of non-negotiation in Paris, the combatants in the Viet Nam war seemed as far away as ever from agreement on peace terms. Then, during the anniversary week of the talks, two senior Communist representatives returned from North Viet Nam-via Moscow-with a few surprises in their luggage.

They are get together, too, when each week a different Scholar gives a talk about what she's trying to do. About two-thirds of the Scholars usually show up at these 'colloquia," along with the Institute administrators, Mrs. Bunting, and whoever else is interested.
