Until recently, West Germany was largely content to let the U.S. and other NATO allies call the tune on East-West policy. Of late a militant, assertive new spirit has risen east of the Rhine. It is, in a sense, a new nationalism- not the unsavory kind associated with jackboots and lebensraum but a more civilized version reflecting the muscle and emotion of a strong, reborn nation...
...have rarely been matched since the film was made. Welles, in particular, who appears only briefly to gaze from the ferris wheel and to run through the sewers in the last and most climactic chase, performs as the smoothest and most attractive monster conceivable. He and a memorable zither tune will ensure that The Third Man continues to reappear...

With authority and certitude, she misplaces geographical landmarks, mispronounces French words, and misnames the heroes of history. WOR listeners tune her in with something of the same impulse that makes crowds gather at a fatal accident. When one correspondent caught her flatfooted in a factual error, she noted his return address and sniffed characteristically: "If he's so smart, what's he still doing in Perth Amboy...
