...widow whom Nikos beds with at Zorba's urging, Carmen Alvarez is an extremely pretty girl who seems to be idly looking for attention, whereas Irene Papas was starved for passion and seething with it. As for the aging soubrette of a landlady who embarks on her last amorous voyage with that pirate of life Zorba, Maria Karnilova simply cannot provide the mixture of girlish coquetry, humor and faded carnality that made Lila Kedrova's film performance such a stunning achievement...

Shored Against Ruin. Mrs. Valerie Eliot, the poet's widow, was given photographic copies of all the documents by the library, and she gave Yale Scholar Donald Gallup exclusive access to them. In the 20 hours available to him, Gallup produced several pages of detailed notes for the Times Literary Supplement, plus four illustrations photographed from the text. Of 57 sheets in the original Waste Land, 42 were unused; it is impossible at this stage to assess how much Ole Ez (as Pound liked to sign himself to friends) cut out, and to what extent Eliot...

...There is one vital question which I would dearly like to ask Cardinal Gushing. In the unlikely event of a poor widow asking him personally whether she should marry a divorced man, and one of a different church, would he have given the same reply as the one to Jackie Onassis? Would he have announced to the world at large that this poor widow was "free to marry whomsoever she likes" and that talk of her being a sinner was "nonsense"? If he replied no, then he would have been guilty of believing in one law for the rich...

Whales, Dogs and Windbags. Orwell died in 1950 at 46. He asked in his will that no biography be written of him. It may now not be necessary. The four volumes of his journalism, critical pieces and letters, collected by his widow and meticulously edited, annotated and indexed, are biography enough. They testify to the fact of Orwell's acknowledged eminence, and will give him semiofficial status as the Great Survivor of the '30s, as the man who knew what it was like to live Inside the Whale (the title of his famous essay on Henry Miller...

Unmet Needs. Bob Kennedy had scarcely begun his fight to change the condition of the poor. Last week his widow, sisters and surviving brother established a memorial that they hope will accomplish some of what he sought to do. On the sloping back lawn of the Robert Kennedy home in McLean, Va., the family announced its plan for a Robert F. Kennedy memorial foundation. "We hope to form several task-force groups," said Edward Kennedy, "and to enlist the young. It is a most appropriate memorial-a living memorial -to carry on his concern, compassion and interest in the unmet...
