...kind of specialist is emerging in the Soviet Union: the America watcher. Though he is perhaps less interested in scholarly research than his Russia-watching counterpart at Harvard or Columbia, he wants to study his subject with the same wide-angle lens. Russia has always observed the U.S. with the help of spies and diplomats, who specialized in such vital subjects as U.S. technology, economy and weaponry. The newer America watchers are attempting to give Russia a more systematic picture of the U.S. as a complex, diverse and often contradictory nation. The view of the U.S. that results is perhaps...

Ready To Do Business. Last week Colonel Ha Van Lau, North Viet Nam's deputy negotiator, surprised his U.S. counterpart, Cyrus Vance, by resubmitting a table design that Hanoi had haughtily rejected once before: a round table flanked by two smaller rectangular tables.

CBS's senior programming vice president, Mike Dann, agrees that "the number of action shows is down drastically in the pilot area." His NBC counterpart, Mort Werner, also anticipates "more comedy and less action." The networks' Hollywood suppliers are, of course, reacting accordingly. Universal Studios is not making any more westerns on speculation, but is concentrating on three new doctor and two lawyer shows. Herbert Solow, the MGM-TV production chief, says...
...make a God of me!" Kazantzakis cried out when, as a four-year-old, he was first made aware of death. In his most popular novel, Zorba the Greek, he divided the human longing for a quiet, withdrawn existence and its counterpart, passionate involvement with life, into two separate characters, joyfully granting Zorba, who lusts for life, the final triumph. In his greatest novels, fictionalized versions of the lives of St. Francis and Christ, he portrayed both as men deeply drawn to the fleshly world but agonizingly aware that they must eventually transcend it. While he was writing The Last...
