...implication, Mr. Hessler characterizes us as "cold hearted and hard-headed." The distinction between the "warm" "democratic" "people loving" "New" left and the cold calculating "Old" left is a cry that has been heard over and over again--most recently in an article appearing in an August issue of Mr. Buckley's National Review. Again Mr. Hessler adopts this a-priori assertion rather than an argument, that somehow providing an intellectual framework which we think clarifies action makes us "cold hearted...
Neither the White House nor the State Department raised any objections when Selden began hearings on his resolution, perhaps because it amounted to a warm endorsement of U.S. policy in the Dominican Republic, which has lately been attacked by Arkansas' Democratic Senator William Fulbright. Privately, most Latin American ambassadors in Washington also found it unobjectionable; a TIME correspondent polled 19 of them, found 15 in favor. With Latin diplomats, however, private preference and public position are often poles apart. Belatedly, the White House realized that many of the same Latins who privately approved the resolution would publicly damn...
...well be short-lived, as both Pakistan's Ayub and India's Prime Minister Lai Bahadur Shastri indicated in their-post-cease-fire speeches. "From now on we enter a new phase in our struggle to show the righteousness of our cause," said Ayub.

...Shop on High Street, made last year by Czechoslovakian Co-Directors Jan Kadar and Elmar Klos, took festivalgoers in New York back to the year 1942, when the Jews of a little Slovakian town incredulously learned that Hitler's pogrom had begun. Shop starts as a warm and well played village comedy. Tono Brtko (Josef Króner) is a simple and straightforward carpenter in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia who hates his brother-in-law, the local Gauleiter, but accepts a supposedly lucrative plum from him-appointment as "Aryan manager" and ideological overseer of a Jewish button shop...
...consequently more of what he wrote is dated; The Sorrows of Young Werther, for instance, reads in this unsentimental century like soap opera written in gold ink. But his finest works-Iphigenia, Tasso, Elective Affinities-embrace a massive range of experience, and in them all the print still lies warm on the page. Finally there is Faust, a masterpiece more than 60 years in the making, in which Goethe presents a central image of Western civilization and a hero who still stands as the type and template of modern...
