...brutal monument to Communism's need to imprison its subjects. Not to Walter Ulbricht. Last week East Germany's Red boss, after studiously ignoring the first four anniversaries of the ugly barrier that divides the city, openly celebrated its fifth birthday with a speech that made one wonder why he had not erected it years before. The Wall, orated Ulbricht, had 1) "saved the peace"; 2) proved the West "impotent"; 3) signified, by its unopposed erection, Allied recognition of the German status quo; 4) established "law and order" in East Germany; 5) halted Western "plundering" of his state...
Since his cut of those winnings is a flat 10% plus expenses, it is no wonder that Neloy is no longer Eddie Neloy, Esq., but Eddie Neloy, Inc. A World War II machine gunner who lost the sight of his right eye at Anzio, he moodily insists that "training is an inexact science"-but since 1945, when he saddled his first winner, Neloy has won 700-odd races and 17 of his horses have won more than $100,000 in a single year. Before he signed on with the Phippses last November, Eddie worked mostly as a "public" trainer...

What has been achieved at Tahoe is the arresting of the life cycle of the lake so that its crystalline waters may retain the remarkable purity that still ranks them...
Smiling but Silent. On opening night, however, the wondering quickly turned to wonder. Seated at the foot of the altar in the Gothic Saint-Pierre Church, Schneider, Serkin and Casals played Beethoven's Trio in E-Flat Major with a passion that made no concession to age. Casals' luminous tone filled the vast church like waves of sunlight, touching the life's breath of the music. At concert's end, the audience of 1,000 rose from the hardwood pews smiling but silent-the only tribute allowed in the church. Later, when the old man walked...
...depiction of this shift in Miguelin's psyche comes slowly and subtlely, in contrast with the incomparable boldness which Rosi exercises in the style of this film. Amazingly abrupt shifts of scene, striking colors, and entirely straightforward dialogue often make you wonder how the director manages to maintain the dramatic interest to well...
