...three parallel notes the U.S., Britain and France last week proposed to the Kremlin that the Big Four hold a foreign ministers' conference at Geneva starting May 11, with a view to a later parley at the summit. The wording of the notes reflected the varying degrees of Western enthusiasm. The U.S. said it would be "ready" to go to the summit as soon as "developments in the foreign ministers' meeting justify." Britain said it would be "glad" to go to the summit as soon as the foreign ministers' talks "warrant." France said it would be "disposed...
Dream & Reality. In Algiers, newspapers of the diehard European settlers violently expressed their "distrust" of the man their riots had helped bring to power. Disheartening as De Gaulle's long view might seem to many of his countrymen, nothing else seemed to promise quicker relief. Last week Morocco's King Mohammed V, increasingly weary of the effect of the Algerian war on his own country, was angling for a visit with De Gaulle (who said fine), reportedly hoped to convince De Gaulle that autonomy within the French Community would be the best solution for Algeria...
Armament. Longstanding Allied view: an armed Germany must be the spearhead of NATO forces with U.S.-controlled nuclear weapons. Macmillan view: the West, in pursuit of a Berlin settlement, can afford to discuss 1) a "freeze" of force levels on both sides, with inspection on both sides, and 2) perhaps later a "thinning-out" of both East and West forces in certain unspecified areas.

...hard," wrote the Harvard Crimson tolerantly, "to view riots in New Haven with the same alarm as those in Nyasaland." The pother at Yale had begun the week before, when a fine fall of late winter snow had coincided with a fettlesome rise of early spring sap. When, at 10 o'clock one night, the Harkness bells clanged out "Bulldog, Bulldog," the results were more or less predictable. Frosh surged out of dormitories like beer from a sprung keg, and began pitching snowballs. Brawlers leaked over locked gates and through classroom buildings into the streets, made a token charge...
Director Stevens' triumph is all the more stunning in view of the fact that the story of Anne Frank is an extremely tiny story, and what there is of it is unsuited to the prime cinematic requirement that a motion picture must have motion. Little Anne was 13 years old when her family, together with another Jewish family and a querulous dentist, were forced to hide out in the attic of an Amsterdam factory to escape the Nazi pogrom. For two years the eight fugitives, supplied with meager amounts of food by friends, crouched in the same wretched refuge...
