...Reenactment. A cameraman arrived at the outpost, and the prisoners were twice taken to the scene of the fight for propaganda films. Once, said Singh, "I was given a handkerchief and asked to wave it as if to give a signal to the men to open fire." The second time, the body of the Chinese soldier was used in the filmed sequence. Between making statements and signing them, the prisoners were taken from their pit into the sunlight, served watermelon, and lectured on "Sino-Indian friendship...
...child in the centrifuge stands for modern man in the society he has made. This is the metaphor at the core of this cruel, powerful picture from France, in which the New Wave of cinematic creation matches the high-water mark established by Black Orpheus (TIME, Nov. 16).

Emerging from the key session: a decision to keep...
Phoenix's new urge for culture is part of the national tidal wave that has nearly doubled museum space since World War II, has found art societies and institutes sprouting in towns that once would have been hard pressed to support a framing shop. Phoenix itself started modestly enough when, in 1915, the Woman's Club set up an Art Exhibition Committee to improve the quality of art shown at the Arizona State Fair. Even as late as 1940, Art Patroness Maie Bartlett Heard gave the city nearly a full city block for a civic center, only...
