...members of the twelve-man Soviet agricultural delegation visiting Iowa (TIME, Aug. 1) attended Sunday services at a Presbyterian church in Jefferson, fanned themselves with church programs, let their attention wander only occasionally as the Rev. Henry Needing preached on "Life Can Be Beautiful." The Russians bought new shirts for the church service, put money in the collection box, later said that religion, or the lack of it, should not be the criterion for friendship...
...police blotter. Sometimes the archness is laid on with a trowel, sometimes the trifling action stops dead for overdetailed explanations. Bogart plays his role pretty straight; Aldo Ray is disconcertingly elfin for an alleged sex fiend; and Ustinov's mugging seems overdone.

Being in the public eye makes her vaguely uncomfortable and selfconscious, as though she were still a little girl in high corrective boots. She would rather wander through the Fulton fish market than sit signing autographs at Sardi's, and she is probably happiest of all when she is backstage at Yankees, feeling herself a part of the show's color and action. Says Director Abbott: "She's a complete jewel-quick, indefatigable, cooperative...
