...under construction at Isfahan. Steel mills are status symbols to all developing countries, and Iran has been yearning for one for more than 75 years. The Shah himself broke ground for the plant last month, and the declared purpose of Kosygin's trip was to pay a visit to its site. Obviously, there was not a great deal to see yet, but the aborning mill was a convenient excuse for the Soviet Premier to negotiate in person for even bigger deals...
...Here I am at the end of a long misspent life," said British Novelist Lawrence Durrell, 56, in the U.S. for his first visit. And what better way to make up for it than a visit to Disneyland ("I don't remember when I had such fun!") with his old pal Henry Miller?

And this is certainly not the place to question at length whether the horrors of American commercialism can really be satirized by any art work which chooses to borrow the terms of commercialism rather than create terms of its own. Mr. Moss's product is certainly worth a visit, if you have any taste at all for this sort of thing. But it is also hard not to feel some disappointment because we will now probably never know if Boris Vian's Empire Builders is a play good enough to deserve a faithful staging...
