...BALLOU. Two no-good gunfighters (both played to perfection by Lee Marvin) brighten a way-out western about a schoolmarm (Jane Fonda) who trades readin' and writin' for a catch-up course in train robbery...
...colleges, while another 25 projects are still privately financed. The Tragic View. Like Columbia's Double Discovery, the projects pluck kids out of stifling home environments, plop them down amidst such relative grandeur as the ivy-covered arches of Yale's Divinity School or the modernity of Western Washington State College's new Ridgeway Dormitory complex. "Why, this is a brand-new building!" cried one girl at Western Washington. "I thought you'd put us somewhere where it wouldn't matter if we wrecked things!"

The Soviet Union also has a rising number of young people-many of them school dropouts-who are unable to find...
...West made wide ly publicized protests, and eight months later Tarsis was released. He proceeded promptly to make the most of his martyrdom by writing a full report on his life in the political loony bin. Published last spring in Britain, Ward 7 was analyzed by the Western press with melancholy fascination as an up-to-date treatise on thought control in the Soviet Union (TIME, May 21). Published this week in the U.S., the book may surprise the reader who expects nothing more than a political document-it is also a work of art. Admittedly, it is not much...
