...left the question open, Louisiana has attempted to feel out President-elect Kennedy's position. The state representatives met with Clark Clifford, the Senator's spokesman on the matter. They came away saying, "We are not happy." Although the judicial outcome of the trouble in New Orleans can be foreseen, the political implications of the situation remain unclear...
...might expect, he is gratified by the new interest in Brecht. Bentley had foreseen the re-examination of epic theater techniques in 1955, and is extremely pleased when on campus after campus he is questioned incessantly on Brecht's theatrical contributions. "People might think that a playwright is not popular until he is successful on Broadway," he observes, "but the student, interest, after all, reflects a real popularity.

Slapped & Hapless. No one, least of all cocky Khrushchev, could probably have foreseen the degree of frustration that lay ahead for him when he set sail for Manhattan aboard Baltika. Even as he and his cronies were on the high seas, the expelled Communist "technicians" and diplomats in the Congo were packing their bags and heading home in defeat in one of the indelible and humiliating scenes of the cold war (TIME, Sept. 26).

This unsuitability carries with it no ignominy; and the obvious devotion and will of these two cannot compensate. In the past decade, Miss Hepburn has played Rosalind, Portia, Beatrice, and Viola--none with great success. Ryan has done...
...where will this inquiry lead? Space scientists consider the question rather ridiculous. No one, they say, could have foreseen what would happen when 16th century astronomers looked out at the solar system and decided that the sun does not revolve around the earth. But out of that bold assault on old and in correct ideas grew the modern science that has enabled man to outgrow his planet. In the past three years, man's knowledge of his universe has increased more than in the centuries between Galileo and Sputnik I. What tomorrow may hold overwhelms the imagination...
