...wrath of civil rights professionals, Bobby went to the Judiciary Committee to plead that the bill be diluted to passable proportions. He carefully avoided challenging Celler's bill on principle, skillfully confined himself to matters of language and legalisms. The new public accommodations section, he said, was "unclear," might extend federal regulation to "all businesses which a state does not affirmatively ban." He questioned the vast scope of powers granted the Attorney General, pointed out that Article I of the Constitution gives Congress power only over federal elections. As for fair employment practices legislation, Bobby said such a section...
...unclear whether "The Swindler" refers to one of the three major characters of his 1955 film, or to Director Federico Fellini himself. If one went to "The Swindler" in the proper mind-obliterating mood, one might be able to see it as described in the little blurb handed out by the Brattle: "Here, Fellini makes no concessions; with an utterly serious tone, he throws in our face all the desolate solitude, the crucl absurdity of the world: it is a cry from hell."

Senate and House committees began hearings this week on the President's civil rights bill, the first skirmish an arduous legislative battle that most likely will last through the torrid weeks of mid-summer and into the cool of autumn. At this point the future of the bill remains unclear, with the outcome contingent on several variables: the force and intelligence of the President's leadership; the strength of the Southern senators plotting to filibuster the bill to death; the attitude of the important moderate Southerners, both in and out of Congress; and the policies of the ever more militant...
...Catholic laureate Paul Claudel-and also a Bar Mitzvah cantata for Israel's 13th birthday. With 15 operas, 12 symphonies, 25 film scores, 15 ballets, 35 concertos and 18 string quartets (he stopped when he had written more than Beethoven) behind him, his message is still unclear; in works heavy with both aphorism and enigma, his music ranges from the insufferably bizarre to the ineffably beautiful...
