Somebody is always trying to make a monkey out of modern art. This time it was Peter, 4½, a West African chimpanzee with a penchant for paint, who lives in Sweden's Boras zoo. Newsmen on the Goteborgs-Tidningen, a Goteborg daily, got Peter's 17-year-old keeper to give him a brush and oil paints. Peter took to daubing like a duck to water. He painted all over the floor; he painted all over his keeper; he even painted all over a few canvases. He ate whole tubes of cobalt blue, leading to the speculation...
...curtain fell, the audience rose and applauded for almost half an hour, while the cast took more than a dozen curtain calls. Critical reaction ranged from Svenska Dagbladet's "One of the most powerful realistic dramas written in this century," to the Morgan-Tidningen's "The most gripping picture of hell that has ever been seen in the theater." But one first-nighter grumbled that "Such drawn-out, detailed probing of personalities can only keep the interest of somebody personally involved." Another offered a new title for the O'Neill opus: Four Acts in Search...
Some neutral Swedes were made a little nervous by the award. "Even if Caesar happens to sing," said the Socialist government's newspaper, the Stockholm Mor-gon-Tidningen, "he can never become an Orpheus . . . The academy move paves the way for the statesman, warrior, philosopher and poet, Mao Tse-tung in Peking, to receive the next year's prize."

...Stockholm, the newspaper Stockholms-Tidningen recently conducted a debate between teen-agers on "Youth and the Church." Their comments seem to bear out Waugh's indictment. "I have not been to church since confirmation," declared Bobby-Soxer Karin Eriksson; "I don't want to be a slave to any God." "And I don't go to church because I cannot stand the overbearing condescending manners of preachers," stated Gunnel Sandstrom. "What we need," said 18-year-old Gustaf Renneus of Kungsholm, "is a priest who is also a sportsman, one who talks our language without any humbug...
...draped, cream-colored restaurant sat the judges: Jean-Gabriel Domergue, Paris painter of nudes and titles; the slick-haired Belgian impresario, Jean-Jacques Fortis; and, peering recklessly through enormous horn-rimmed glasses, Marilyn Buferd, Miss America of 1946. They were face to face with an international incident. The Stockholms-Tidningen had just demanded the elimination of platinum blonde Miss Sweden on two grounds: 1) she had once been elected Miss China in a Stockholm cabaret contest, and 2) she wasn't a miss; she was a missus, married to an Italian. Rebutted Miss Sweden: "I was elected Miss China...
