Cuban Challenge. Thus strengthened, and renamed OAS, this regional group proceeded to prove under Secretary General Lleras that it could work by handling minor disputes. The one thing that it never got was the intangible factor diplomats call "presence"-confident acceptance of the OAS by its members as the competent and natural body to handle big inter-American problems.

Last month, calling the OAS Washington's "Ministry of Colonies...
...Hardly a group or area is too small for Cuban attention: Jamaica police who seized the chief of the island's Mau-Mau-like rebel Ras Tafarians reported finding correspondence with Castro officials.

Rene Clair said that "Nothing essential has been added to the art of the motion picture since Griffith": it is equally true that little important has been added to film theory since Pudovkin, and Eisenstein's Film Form and The Film Sense. (Raymond Spottiswoode's books might be included if they were not derivative from Pudovkin and Eisenstein.) I have little to say about it, except to recommend it. It is essential reading for anyone interested...
