Minister of Transport Gad Yaacobi and Minister of Justice Haim Zadok flew in at week's end, while Teddy Kollek, the mayor of Jerusalem, and Supreme Court Justice Haim Conn were packing their bags. Small wonder if Premier Yitzhak Rabin felt lonely in Jerusalem: some days it seemed that there were more Israeli VIPS in the U.S. than in Israel...

Foolish Pleasure was only his second Derby entry in an otherwise solid but unspectacular career. One of the hardest workers in the business, Jolley says: "Most people wonder how a trainer can work seven days a week, 365 days a year.

There are a whole list of things which you may never do again after seeing M and a few of them are: whistle the Peer Gynt Suite, allow a kid to walk to school without an armed guard, see a floating balloon and not wonder where its owner is. If you only think of Peter Lorre as the whining, pop-eyed comic figure of a million parodies, try this on for size, for his performance in M is brilliant in its fullness, empathy and inseparability from the society he moves in. Hardly ever has a movie used sight...
