...Wall Street. The boosterism behind A67 is well founded. Today, despite its century under the American aegis, Alaska's natural resources remain largely untapped. In an 1867 speech supporting the Alaska purchase, Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner spoke glowingly of the region's timber and grasslands, furs and fisheries, copper and gold lodes. Though the fur-seal herds that drew the Russians to Alaska have long since been decimated, trappers still work the beaver streams and fox warrens of the wooded, game-rich Brooks Range. Prospectors gutted gold in billion-dollar lots from the Kenai Peninsula to the Yukon...
Propaganda Tableau. Albania is using its own version of Mao Tse-tung's Cultural Revolution to galvanize its lethargic citizens, and portraits of Mao and Party Boss Enver Hoxha hang side by side in shops and offices. Wall posters criticize laggard factory managers and party officials, women's high heels and short dresses, and everyone who dodges early-morning gymnasium classes. Like a propaganda tableau out of Red China, party members and intellectuals gather in the fields against a majestic background of snow-capped mountains, reading Hoxha's thoughts to the toiling farmers and spurring them...
Humphrey's was not necessarily the most compelling Washington presence on Wall Street last week. One guest in 1942 had been First Lieut. William McChesney Martin Jr., who had been installed four years earlier-at 31-as Big Board president, and had left that post for the Army.

...Kennedy Round also means the virtual demise of tariffs as an important obstacle to trade. On thousands of manufactured goods-including autos, machinery, ceramics, cameras and hats-most industrial countries agreed to slash their tariffs by the full 50% that Kennedy originally sought. As a result, the average tariff wall around U.S., British and Canadian imports will fall from today's 18% to about 10%. Common Market levies will shrink by one-third from their present 13.2%, and those imposed by such countries as Switzerland and Sweden will drop from 8% to the merely nuisance level...
...Arnoul) the star dancer refuses to perform when she sees the owner, Danglar (Jean Gabin) being unfaithful with the star singer. Ordered from her locked dressing room by her mother, she states that she will only dance if Danglar promises to dismiss his other mistresses. Danglar, pinned to the wall, stammers what we had suspected all along: Nini could never keep him tied down; his life is the theatre and he loves only what he creates, while he is creating it. "You!" he says, pointing to Nini, and "You!" to Lola (Maria Felix), a magnificent woman who was once...
