...performing without costumes or sets (lost in a plane crash), Robbins & Co. proved to be the hit of the Edinburgh Festival. Most of the program at both Edinburgh and London's Piccadilly Theatre was originally devised for last year's Spoleto Festival. Included last week were N.Y. Export, Op. Jazz, a deadpan exercise in which knees break, shoulders shrug in a serpentine evocation of youthful loneliness; The Concert, Robbins' acidulous spoof of the classical ballet; Moves, an abstract ballet without musical accompaniment; and Afternoon of a Faun, Robbins' coolly lyrical dissection of Debussy...
...education. The frank and cynical description of the affairs of two wideranging lovers-aided by a camera so candid that it sometimes even peeped under the bed sheets-was carefully edited before it won a permit "for adults only." For French adults, that is. Vadim was denied an export permit, lest his picture corrupt less civilized foreigners...

The severest trial for the Soviet worker who wants a camera or a motorcycle is not financing the inflated price, but waiting while his name slowly drifts to the head of a long waiting list...
...Senator Homer Capehart of Indiana persuaded him to become secretary of an advisory committee to strengthen U.S. loan agencies. Brand helped draft the law that expanded the Export-Import Bank's role and lending authority, made it autonomous under a board of directors. He moved into the Eximbank as a director. In 1956 Brand performed his biggest coup by persuading a group of Government agencies and eleven private banks to grant an unprecedented $329 million loan to help stabilize the Argentine economy after Peron's fall...
