Peppermint & Rolls. As the unmanned Steinway eerily picked its note-perfect way through the concerto in Los Angeles, thousands of other pianolas* were making rumpus rooms, rathskellers and taverns resound all over the U.S. Most of them-foot-pumped jobs with no concert-grand pretensions-were being played for the sheer rinky-tink fun of it by people who own either vintage instruments rescued from dusty oblivion or brand-new 1962 models, bought in a shiny showroom. The player piano is coming back into its own again to the tune of Moon River and The Peppermint Twist. And, once again...
...boom, as people leave their straw mats for Western-style mattresses. There are skiing booms, boating booms, bowling booms, appliance booms. Cities throb with the pound of pile drivers pushing new office buildings and apartments skyward. Tokyo's streets -most of them no more than lanes-resound with the honking of 700,000 cars, trucks and motorcycles, v. 59,000 before the war; traffic jams are hideous, and the death rate from traffic accidents the highest in the world. So many people pack stores, subways and amusement centers that one entrepreneur sells a "slippery coat" of tough synthetic fiber...
Plastic Applause. By day. Algiers appears as peaceful as any city of France, reported TIME Correspondent Edward Behr. After sunset, the streets resound to the powerful explosion of plastic bombs.

Two recent arrivals resound to the phoot-phoot of scooters, but they nonetheless belong to the most ancienne of vagues-bad films. Cheaters is a solemn exercise in which Jacques Charrier, a pretty young man married to Brigitte Bardot, and some friends behave with what they fancy is abandon: they dig le jazz...
...fingers, or tilting his head in an odd, three-quarter inclination of strict attention. Occasionally, a muscle twitched in his thin neck. Once, Hausner said sarcastically that "if the swastika flag were again to be raised with shouts of 'Sieg heil I', if there were again to resound the hysterical screams of the Führer, if again the high-tension barbed wires of the extermination centers were set up-Adolf Eichmann would rise, salute and go back to his work of oppression and butchery." Eichmann drew together his thin lips and stared with stony disapproval...
