Martins is referring to Ashley's scrupulousness in performance, but she is candid in other ways. She knows that her technique is famous. "From the waist down, I'm terrific," she observes. "My legs just know what to do. But my allegro dancing wasn't enough. I had a kind of breakthrough a year ago. But my arms can still be lifeless. My head is not always right." She has been teaching her role in Emeralds to Ghislaine Thesmar, a French ballerina who is as elegant in a Gallic way as Ashley is in her very American...
Despite such candid admissions, an air of optimism seems to pervade the encyclopedia. The editors believe that "a decade hence many of the problems mentioned in these pages will have been solved." Zoologist H.S. Micklem states that most of "the missing pieces in the jigsaw" of immunology will soon be discovered. The other contributing scientists, too, appear to echo Coleridge's declaration that encyclopedias represent a faith in "the progress of the future...
...camera is, it seems, the me chanical dandy par excellence. It is also the model of free choice.

The McCarthy era placed great strains on American institutions. It is imperative to understand how this University reacted to those pressures...
...half years as the Toronto Globe and Mail's man in Peking, Ross H. Munro has been reprimanded by Chinese officials, described to visiting journalists as a troublemaker and pointedly excluded from press trips around the country. That was even before he wrote a candid and widely reprinted series on human rights in China, or rather the absence thereof. Now Munro has received the ultimate rebuke: Chinese officials have informed the Globe and Mail that "for obvious reasons" Munro's visa, due to expire Dec. 23, will not be renewed, and he will have to leave Peking...
