...callously taking advantage of the genuine grief and outrage of many Afro-Asian nationalists for whom Lumumba had become a symbol of uncompromising revolt against the Western whites who had held Africa for more generations than most could count. But the Communists also managed to turn some of the anger against the U.S., which had never even possessed an African colony, with the argument that any ally of Belgium must be an enemy of the black man. In Ghana, crowds organized by Kwame Nkrumah's party officials pranced through the streets of Accra with placards reading UNITED STATES MURDERS...
...modern plays as costume drama, and has a range of diction from Queen's English to Britannic Brando. But he has none of the smooth gloss of the classical acting tradition. He is relentlessly naturalistic, and his technique seldom shows on the surface. Like Look Back in Anger's star, Kenneth Haigh, Finney typifies the antiromantic, non-U hero who has emerged from the new social realism of the British theater. But as the rough and uneducated Arthur Seaton, a Nottingham lathe operator who fairly hums with the joy of doing wrong, Actor Finney is far more believable...
...become stereotyped. They no longer have faith, they only have problems. Dickie Amsterdam is the most despicable "hero" to appear in a long time, and Marjorie Morningstar's plight is hardly worth the effort.

"They take the cross," says Ernie in a moment of bitterness, "and they turn it around." In such moments of anger, and in others of heavy concern (It is admirable that during a period when they were teaching murder to their Aryan scholars, the instructors taught the Jewish children suicide") M. Schwartz. Bart momentarily abandons the ideal of patient suffering that illuminates his strongest characters...
Domestically, Quadros promised "to impose the most rigorous government morality." He appeared at the presidential office building at 7:30 a.m. the day after inauguration only to find long lines of offices standing empty. With cold anger he ordered a new ten-hour workday, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a three-hour break. That very evening, homeward-bound functionaries, slipping into buses at 6 p.m., were ordered out and back to work by palace guards. Quadros also ordered an investigation of corruption in five federal agencies-an action that is bound to have a stirring effect on Brazil...
