...doting, well-to-do parents (the Theatre Guild), Allegro has been given every advantage that money can buy. For nursemaid, Joe Taylor has a full-sized Greek chorus singing Richard Rodgers' pleasant tunes; for playing after school, a full-scale Agnes de Mille ballet; for wedding music, a virtual cantata. His most uninspired thoughts reverberate through loudspeakers; his quietest desires are wired for sound. As a result, Allegro gets too big for its roots and too elaborate to have an honest Our Town warmth. Snapshots in family albums lose some of their character and charm when blown...
...elections (Oct. 19). Who would win, Charles de Gaulle's R.P.F. (Rassemblement du Peuple Français) or the Communists?

...West Punjab seems even worse. In hitherto peaceful districts like Montgomery and Lyallpur there is not one town which has not been a battlefield. There is no bazaar which has not been burned out. Streams of refugees can be seen approaching all bridges, and over some roads they form virtual convoys miles long. On a ten-mile stretch of road leading to the big bridge over the Sutlej River into Pakistan, there must have been 100,000 people, most of them walking beside bullock carts piled high with their sole possessions...
