While the Eisenhower program was being passed, he said, "there have been sitting on the sidelines . . . the prophets of gloom and doom...
...Cult of the Gun." U Nu will argue Marxism with Communists over a pot of plain tea, but he will not let them undermine free Burma with a gun. As Prime Minister, he goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure that his people understand this, the difference he considers vital.

The finest hour of the Italian cinema was rung in with Open City (1946) and tolled out with Umberto D (1952), and every man of talent in the Italian movie industry knows it. Few are willing to give up the prospect of prosperity, but most are sad and just a little ashamed to see their pictures become more...
...known and outgrown greatness, nurse their memories amid a neat patchwork of fields where golden wheat and rye shimmer at each passing breeze. Turning idly in the same soft breeze, the sails of windmills urge the sluggish water along a network of canals which are the province's vital arteries, moving its traffic, draining and feeding its rich black soil...
