...Polakov (whose costumes add much to the general lightness and brightness) has affixed a number of white, stylized orange-tree tops. And by having spikes driven into the poles, Berghof has enabled people to scamper up to a third level. In the garden scene where Malvolio discovers the faked letter, Berghof has a whole crew of people costumed as animals and perches them in the treetops with all manner of animal noise-makers to razz Malvolio (one of them even hits Malvolio with the contents of a water pistol...
...cold-voiced Malvolio, Fritz Weaver is adequate. His best moment, though, occurs when he is speechless: in his cross-gartered scene he brings along the forged letter and, misinterpreting Olivia's question, "Wilt thou go to bed, Malvolio?," drops it on the ground in stunned amazement. William Daniels' Sebastian leaves a favorable impression. Frederick O'Neal looks the part of the sea-captain Antonio, but his Shakespearean diction is woefully deficient...
Kindly, fatherly Pope John XXIII issued his first encyclical last week, and it proved to be a fatherly message of warning, hope and encouragement.

Dominican Raymond Leopold Bruckberger's love for the U.S. is not blind: in the last decade, the French priest, author (One Sky to Share), artist and Resistance hero, has traveled all over the U.S. Inevitably, some of what he has to say has been said before, but rarely has it been said more...
...Letter. Nixon may well face another conflict when Nelson Rockefeller tries to take the 1960 Republican nomination, and no reporter-not even one as able as Earl Mazo-can say how Nixon really feels about that. The Vice President is saying all the right things ("The times may require and demand a man with different qualifications"). More to the point may be another remark: "I never in my life wanted to be left behind...
