...Hear a Waltz?, a musical adap tation of of Arthur Laurents' 1952 play, The The Time of the Cuckoo, is a victim of jets and jet-set moral obsolescence. It is not old enough to be nostalgic and not new enough to ring true. It asks playgoers to believe that a thirtyish Madison Avenue copywriter (Elizabeth Allen) is making her first gaga-eyed trip to Venice. And it compounds disbelief by imagining this girl to be psychologically numb-struck and emotionally unhinged upon discovering that her Italian vacation lover (Sergio Franchi) is married.

Trouble was, the secret nonballot failed to produce a winner-which, under the U.N. charter, must receive two-thirds of the votes. A second "consul tation" was called for, and a third, but although Jordan was unofficially ahead, Mali proved unsinkable. In the end, Quaison-Sackey forged a compromise: the two nations would split the two-year term, with Jordan seated first.

"If we're to have any chance at all against Kennedy-Johnson in November, Rockefeller's got to be on the ticket." Again and again during his erratic flir tation with the Republican presidential nomination, Nelson Rockefeller insisted that he did not want to be a candidate for Vice President. On the first of his two trips to Chicago last week, he repeated that he would "positively, absolutely" not consider the vice-presidential nomination...
Jane Eyre (20th Century-Fox) is a florid, somewhat disappointing cinemadap-tation of Charlotte Bronte's story about the long-suffering governess who finally marries Edward Rochester (Orson Welles), the melancholic and irascible squire with the mad wife. There is little success in capturing the Brontean intensity of atmosphere and of character which should have made the novel a natural screen romance. As Jane, Joan Fontaine is too often merely tight-lipped and pale-perhaps because Orson Welles so seldom gives her reason to be anything else. His Rochester is fairly amusing as a period...
