Lawrence DurreII
Finishes TetroIoqy

CLEA, by Lawrence Dur
rell Dutton; $3.95) is the
fourth and final book in a
tetralogy of novels centered
about modern Alexandria.
Lawrence Durrell is one of
the finest stylists writing to-
day. There is a sensuous
beauty in his phrases that is
rarely found in any literary
era. And yet he is not easy
to read. The characters in
the four books are interviewer
subtly one with another, and
past situations often are
brought up with an allusion,
a touch, so that the reader
who missed the previous VOL
umeS may find himself lost
at many points in "Clea."
The final story finds Alex
andria in the middle Of
World War II, with its fate
in doubt and it's people con-
fused and stumbling about

Even the war, Darley

A~AAANNs N@H@OA ~
Keith Stewart was quiet,
respectable, middle aged,
married and living in a drab,
lower middle-class London
suburb. He and his wife
managed to get along with
out going into debt because
they both worked. But their
combined income would be
called very moderate in this
country.
Keith Stewart was about
the last person you'd have
picked to plunge suddenly
into an adventure that took
him halfway around the
world, to romance-haunted
South Sea islands.
But such was Nevil Shute's
skill as a storyteller that it
seems plausible, even inevi-
table that his character in
this novel should fall into
this startling experience.
Model Maker
Keith was a gifted man in
his peculiar, limited field. He
had a great talent, almost a
genius for making small
models of things-engines,
clocks, any sort of mechanical
contrivance. His workroom
was in his basement, and he
wrote of his experiments in a
weekly column in a MAGAZINE
called the Miniature Me-
chanic. Keith was the MAIN
stay of this magazine, which
had a moderate but world
wide circulation. 1t didn't
make a heavy profit, however.
and so Keith's salary inevi-
tably was small. He was a
busy man. He not only made
his models and wrote about
them, but carried on a
voluminous correspondence
with model fans in many
countries, answering all
queries PROMPTLY.

to claim the heritage with
which they intended to have

THE UNITED STATES IN
THE WORLD ARENA. BY
w. w. Rostow. (Harper;
$8.75O
Prof. Rostow has long been
concerned with the broad
sweep of world history and
where the United States is
going-or ought to go-in it.
He has originated a way to
think fundamentally about
Americas destiny which over
a number of years has been
creeping. by some form of
osmosis, into the thinking Of
a good many policymakers
Of both Republican and Dem
ocratic persuasion.
In this respect he is hav-
ing a real impact on the
course of history. This man.
moth book is the detailed ex-
position of his theory of
American destiny.
1T is as sure as any,
thing can be that the CEN
trail international problem
for the future" he writes,
"iS the organization of a
world community in which
the United States, Western
Europe, Japan and Russia
are joined by powerful in
dustrial states in Asia, Latin
America, the Middle East
and Africa-in about that
order: and that. within
something like rs years, the
bulk of the presently under
developed areas will have
attained economic matur-
ity."
Russia May Turn
An incurable optimist,
Prof. Rostow believes there is
reason to hope the Soviet
Union will eventually aban-
don its drive for world su-
premacy out of American
made Illustration if not wis
dom.
Some Russians may have
even begun to define an al
tentative: "he says" name
ly, to exploit the transient
primacy of the Soviet Union
and the United States to
create a system of arma-
ments control so solid and
secure that it would guar
antee a world of reasonable
and orderly politics by the
time the new nations came
to maturity"
Make War IrratiOnaI
How can the United States
help to bring such a world
about? This is the authors
answer: by continuing to
make war, major or minor,
irrational for the Communist
leadership; the creation
of policy in Asia. the Mid
die East, Africa and Latin
America which will maximize
the chance that the national
ist ambitions of these areas
will be turned predominantly
toward the tasks of domestic
modernization, and thus
create a secure long
foundation for their indie
pendence; the bringing
into effective and respon-
sible partnership of Western
Europe and Japan IN both
military and economic pol

all the major routes for
the extension of unilateral
power which are now i'm
pliclt in Soviet policy" hold
ing out to the Russians a.. a
vision of the kind of world
the United States seeks and
the place of dignity and
responsibility within it which
Russia could have when
divested of its present am
bitions."
These four items, Prof.
Rostow writes, ARE the
agenda for the next creative
phase IN American military
and foreign policy"
