...from News editorials, which are usually short, sometimes outrageous, but always understandable. The News's editorial page pulls a thumping 60% of its readers-well above the national average-by offering some of the liveliest reading fare in the country. When not venting its spleen on its favorite villain ("Killer Khrushchev," "the butcher of Hungary and Ukraine," "Red Hitler"), the News indulges its own peeves, such as the United Nations ("throw the bums out"), or directs a fervent plea to American ingenuity to solve a serious technical problem: how to keep small boys' trousers zippered...

Could anything be more cheerful than our hero's first assignment-a journey to Venice on the Simplon Express with a beautiful blonde, posing as her lover...
...insular world of Soviet cinema. Director Grigori Chukhrai, who proved his talent with the sensitive, romanticized Ballad of a Soldier, tells a tale of illicit love-and tells it straight, without prudish apologies, against a background of post-World War II political tyranny. The off-screen villain of the piece is Joseph Stalin...
