...truth. In fact, outside pressures often change the courtroom controversy into a lawyers' scramble for headlines. And when that happens, the search for truth may be sadly neglected. This is the disturbing conclusion of The Trial of Jack Ruby (Macmillan; $7.95), by Professors John Kaplan and Jon R. Waltz of Stanford and North western universities, a deft and read able analysis that depicts a legal disaster-a world-watched trial in which the defendant drew the ultimate sentence of death while his lawyers were busy boosting their own egos...
Rapture is hardly the word for this penumbral play of love against loneliness. But whatever the name, the film will boost the artistic stock of English Director John Guillermin, whose feature films have covered such varied terrain as The Day They Robbed the Bank of England, Waltz of the Toreadors and Guns at Batasi. And it will clinch the reputation of France's 15-year-old Patricia Gozzi, whose first big role was in the warmly praised Sundays and Cybele (TIME, Dec. 7, 1962).

He is more grammatical than his old man, but that is all. He too is a prisoner, trapped by circumstance and surrounded by the De Vries wit, which leaks out all over. And why does it? Because, in extremis, scalped and trussed, there is only one thing...
...Paris's Left Bank has a new fruggery called the Vincent Van Gogh-Gogh (it's just across the street from the more famous Deux Magots-Go). Duke Ellington's new place is called the Mood Indigo-Go, and the squares out in Pasadena are in waltz time at the Long, Long Ago-Go. But the most popular of all is a Jewish discothèque in The Bronx called the Let My People...
