...note that your June 13 issue is devoid of the Medicine section. This is the third time in the last four years that you have missed. How do you expect me to keep up with the latest in medicine...
...fiscal 1960 this week, U.S. budgetmen reported that the U.S. had snapped back from last year's debt-bloating deficit of $12.4 billion into the black by an estimated $750 million-largely because of the Administration's pressure on all fronts against federal spending. Budget dopesters expect a surplus for fiscal 1961 (beginning July 1) somewhere above $2 billion. Likely final score for the Eisenhower Administration: four surpluses (1956, 1957, 1960, 1961) and four red-ink years (1954, 1955, 1958, 1959). Cumulative total for the eight years: a deficit of some $16 billion...
Elections Next Spring. But Turkey's soldiers were slowly realizing the job of cleaning up after the Menderes regime was bigger than even Cemal Gursel first supposed. The university professors working on a new constitution now do not expect to finish it until well into July. If elections cannot be held in the fall, they may have to be put off until spring, since large parts of Turkey are snowed in during the winter. The delay has the advantage of allowing time for political regrouping, since an immediate election would undoubtedly produce a landslide for the Republicans and leave...
...Juliet with Julie Harris, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. ¶ Stratford, Conn, is salad-green in years (1955), in its bucolic setting along the sleepy Housatonic River, and in the juvenile cuteness of most of its productions. The 200,000 ticket-queuers anticipated this season must expect only Jello-weight Shakespeare inside the handsome teakwood playhouse emblazoned with British heraldry and flying pennants. This year's opening Twelfth Night was greeted with morning-after queasiness by the critics: Illyria became a British seaside resort circa 1830, and most of the cast appeared to be on shore leave...
With such game afoot, the experienced Hitchcock fan might reasonably expect the unreasonable-a great chase down Thomas Jefferson's forehead, as in North by Northwest, or across the rooftops of Monaco, as in To Catch a Thief. What is offered instead is merely gruesome. The trail leads to a sagging, swamp-view motel and to one of the messiest, most nau seating murders ever filmed. At close range, the camera watches every twitch, gurgle, convulsion and hemorrhage in the process by which a living human becomes a corpse...
