His images are continuously beautiful but never obtrusive; they rise out of the story as naturally as thoughts rise out of the pool of Vishnu-there is nothing arty in Ray's art. By the same token his actors act, not with the usual bombinations of Oriental drama, but as though the camera had found them alone and simply living; and they live, as few characters in pictures do, real lives that swell...

...time football, classroom TV and junior colleges. They want summer sessions for the gifted, special teachers for the retarded, night classes for the aged. The air-conditioned hive that serves this honey must house carpentry shops and physics laboratories, a hall for the town meeting, and perhaps a swimming pool that adults can use too. It must impress like a monument-and be as cheap as a summer cottage. It is running out of space, money and teachers...
