...graduate economics department, where "classical" Economist Friedrich von Hayek long worked, now offers conservative Milton Friedman (Capitalism and Freedom) as Chicago's answer to Harvard's liberal John K. Galbraith. Yet the "Chicago School" is hardly hidebound; it recently imported a British Keynesian and was a little disappointed to find him too "sensible." Conservatism also marks the first-rate law school, headed by Dean Phillip C. Neal, which has lured the American Bar Association to a nearby national headquarters. In 1958, for example, Chicago law professors did the research for a prickly resolution by the chief justices...
...first six places last month at Sebring, Fla., the moody Italian intends to cut down his activities. For one thing, he is 65. For another, Ferraris barreling along at 160 m.p.h. have cracked up and killed an awesome roll of racing's best drivers-Ascari, De Portago, Von Trips, Castellotti, Musso. For all his ordinary tyranny with engineers, mechanics and drivers, Ferrari calls in his cars and broods whenever a driver dies. Taunts of "murderer" in Italian newspapers have only increased his determination to step down. Partly because he feels ill-treated in Italy, partly because he believes that...
...words without compassion. The contrast between this remoteness and the fervor on the faces of the communicants as they receive the Host and the Cup states Bergman's theme: a vain search for faith down ways that are closed. Besought, after the service, to counsel a fisherman (Max von Sydow) sick with world-sadness because "the Chinese now have an atom bomb," the pastor starts a confident trust-in-God homily that turns by stages into a pathetic malediction of the "echo God" who answers prayers with superficial comfort. The fisherman's consequent suicide leads the pastor...
...pictorial archive from which producers draw-walking corpses at Buchenwald, heiling stormtroopers at Nazi rallies, Hitler jigging while Europe burns-has become predictable if still shocking. But Producer Louis Clyde Stoumen (The Naked Eye), finding new film and skillfully interpolating drawings by Picasso, Grosz, Doré and Wilhelm von Kaulbach, has given the story of those years a new aspect. This Oscar-winning film is not just another post-mortem on Hitler: it is a trenchant commentary on the hows and whys of Naziism...
...Kaulbach's illustrations for Goethe's fable of Reynard the Fox, making a neat allegory between the sly fox, who persuaded the king of the beasts that he could save the animal kingdom from the wicked wolf, and Adolf Hitler, who persuaded the aging Von Hindenburg that he could protect Germany from the threat of Stalin. The parallel perfidy of Reynard and Adolf, once they have seized power, falls almost too trickily into place, but the lesson is memorable...
