...Three Ideas." The talks began on the subject of Anglo-American scientific sharing. "Harold," said the President, "you know I cruised briefly last summer on our newest aircraft carrier, the Saratoga. And I found myself particularly interested in three things-the angled deck, the mirror landing system and the steam catapult. The angled deck and catapult have made our carriers much more effective, and the landing system has saved lives of our men. I found also that all three of them were British ideas, British inventions." Macmillan was more than willing to agree on the mutual benefits of scientific cooperation...
...contrast with its staid morning sister, the 76-year-old Los Angeles Times (circ. 462,257), Norman Chandler's eight-year-old Los Angeles Mirror-News (308,594) is liberal Republican in outlook, breezy in style-and heavily in the red. Last week Chandler announced the "resignation" of the Mirror-News's independent-minded Editor-Publisher Virgil Pinkley, 50, onetime vice president and European manager of the United Press. Pinkley's successor: Hugh A. ("Bud") Lewis, longtime city editor of the Times. His probable first step: to attune the Mirror-News's editorial policy more closely...
...less a literary critic than Nikita S. Khrushchev has called this book "wrong at the root" and misrepresenting life "as through a crooked mirror." Before the Russian censors caught on to this view, the Moscow magazine Novy Mir published the novel in three installments last year.

With Poland and Hungary threatening to tip the boat, Not by Bread Alone had a special menace because 1) it roused wild excitement among both intellectuals...
...represented here by several stages in his ever-changing process of vision. The late canvas Algerian Women, I, provides something of an anti-climax, more than a bit careless and in no way comparable to such definitive statements as Dog and Cock of the twenties, Woman Seated Before a Mirror of the thirties, or as early a gem as La Toilette of the Rose Period. Even here, however, the master's touch, a knowledgeable intuition, comes through despite whatever faults exist. Less can be said of the bronze, automobile-headed Baboon with Young, a cheap tour de force despite whatever...
...return to TV last week on ABC's filmed crime series, The Walter Winchell File, the columnist-turned-actor slowed down his Teletype voice; what he said was still unimportant but, thanks in considerable part to a good script by ex-New York Daily Mirror Reporter Adrian Spies, never dull. The story concerned a psychopathic killer, who haunts a frightened cop, "a man without guile, walking perhaps to death when his heart was full of new life." Winchell's old vaudeville training stood him in good stead, especially when he had to talk about "the tabloid fury...
