...soft talk brought some hard thoughts to many a worried U.S. head. Senate Majority Leader William Knowland feared that the U.S. might be admitting a Communist "Trojan horse." General Mark Clark, former commander of United Nations forces in Korea, warned that a "tough" approach to Communism is the best way to prevent another...
...twisting the co-existence idea to fit their harsh policy for handling Russia, Knowland and his crew have slipped into logical difficulty. The California Senator argues that co-existence is only a "Trojan Horse" which the Soviets will use as a stall until they can achieve an atomic stalemate "sometime between 1957 and '60." After that Russia "will seek to take over the peripheral nations bite by bite." The major error in his reasoning is the idea that a weapons stalemate will not occur for a number of years. Not only is it impossible to make an accurate count...
...John Latouche) is a slightly offbeat musical, given a slightly off-Broadway production (by the new, knowledgeable lower Second Avenue Phoenix Theater-TIME, Dec. 14).

"Roughly the first half acts out the Iliad: Helen (Kay Ballard), the wife of a local dignitary, runs off with a drummer named Paris (Jonathan Lucas) and after...
...Today there can be no more surprises about the nature of communist imperialism, about its cold drive for expansion, about it willingness to use every means from military aggression to the Trojan horse tactics of fifth columns and internal subversion in every country in the world.

...would be unfortunate to saddle this delightful production with a top-heavy moral. As in The Madwoman of Chaillot and The Trojan War will Not Take place, Giraudouz rejects a serious plane for the freedom of fantasy. Ondine is a splash of brilliant costumes (Richard Whorf) and imaginative sets (Peter Larkin). The appearance of such characters as three Loreli-type sprites and a walking replica of Venus de Milo break into the narrative to keep the lively pace...
