Indecision & Mockery. Chessman's last chance loomed last week. As public opinion poured its torrents on Governor Brown, two attorneys for Chessman made two final appeals for clemency to the State Supreme Court. The court turned them down, 4-3.

Business should be brisk, for Pekingese fanciers are willing to overlook the single fault of Westminster's champion. He snores...
Ikiru (Japanese) is perhaps the finest achievement of Director Akira (Rashomon) Kurosawa, a masterwork of burning social conscience and hard-eyed psychological realism. The central figure is dying of cancer; his final months lead through the discovery of goodness to one of the crudest pieces of sustained misanthropy the screen has ever shown...
