...courage that would let Natasha brand her flesh with a red-hot iron to prove her love. Instead of a total commitment to life, there is more often a quiet acceptance of fate. Mel Ferrer's Prince Andrey has a certain sullen grandeur, but his diction is often unclear, and he is more wooden than reserved, more testy than proud. Henry Fonda's leanness at first seems all wrong for the massive, moonfaced, soul-tortured Pierre. But Fonda builds beautifully into his part, using a physical clumsiness as a counterpoise to his soaring spirit, making his rages seem...

From authorities in Hong Kong they got one-way travel permits and third-class tickets aboard the President Cleveland, bound for San Francisco. When the 21 chose Communism, Defense Secretary Wilson had ordered them dishonorably discharged without court-martial, an unprecedented and possibly illegal move that has yet to be tested in court. Under truce-agreement guarantees, they can never be prosecuted for their choice...
