Cake Defrosted. As Stygian as the week was when it started, things soon began lightening to at least a bearable shade of grey as a semblance of order returned to Viet Nam. Back home, things seemed a little more normal when Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen reverberated out of Walter Reed Hospital, supporting himself on crutches after breaking a thighbone...
...Philippine employees. The line's 400-odd pilots are nearly all recruited from the U.S. military services, draw an average $18,000 in base pay, plus bonuses for hazardous flying conditions, which can raise the annual total to $25,000 or more.

Perhaps The Shop on Main Street could only come from Eastern Europe which presently exists in that great grey area between freedom and suppression. But, for my part, I think the answer lies in the sensitivity and the richness of experience of the Czech people themselves, as evidenced in this film. When better films are made, the Czechoslovakians will probably make them...
