...Great Seal. At age twelve, Dean drafted a clairvoyant document entitled "What I Plan to Do with the Next Twelve Years of My Life." The schedule called for finishing high school, then working for two years to earn money to go to college, then attending North Carolina's Davidson College (where his father had studied), then winning a Rhodes scholarship and studying at Oxford. True to his plan, he worked as a general helper in a small law office for two years after high school, then used his savings to get started at Davidson College (which he calls...
...words fail to paper over the growing evidence of deep ideological disagreement. In place of the flat 1957 assertion that the Russian Communist Party plays the "leading role in the Socialist movement," the new document merely observes that historically the Russian party is "universally recognized as the.vanguard of the world Communist movement."

...Before such an extraordinary document," wrote the Communist Lettres Françaises grudgingly, "one can't help admiring the candor with which Americans portray their army. The fact that a French producer was authorized to make such a film indicates great liberalism." The film is a 24-minute short titled The Marines, and its producer is François Reichenbach, 38, who made a big New Wave splash last spring with his first full-length movie, the much criticized L'Amérique Insolite (generally translated "unusual"). For his latest effort, a stark study of the Parris Island...
