Nasser is still faced with thunder on the left. Last month, in direct defiance of Nasser's order that his own National Front is the only political party that may operate in Syria, Syrian Communist Chief Khaled Bakdash published an article in Prague proclaiming, "No authority could disband our Communist Party," and ostentatiously returned to Damascus from Czechoslovakia to set up shop again. Since Nasser is not a man to tolerate such defiance, Cairo is guessing that the house-cleaning in Syria is not yet finished...

...done told you?" said a minor actor rehearsing for Sam Goldwyn's Porgy and Bess movie, and there was thunder on Catfish Row. That sort of so-called Negro dialect, said Actress Pearl (Bess) Bailey, is "undignified and unnatural. I don't care if it's Negro or Italian or Greek or French; it's in bad taste." Producer Goldwyn and Director Otto Preminger willingly told the Negro performers to leave out anything they did not like. Question: Will one of the show's most famed songs be retitled It Is Not Necessarily...
