After months of waiting for the Army's decision, Smith finally got an A.C.L.U. lawyer who threatens to take the case to federal court unless Smith is honorably discharged. The Army considers those 18 months to be "bad time" and has put Smith on short pay-$20 since June to recoup the allotments his wife received during his absence. Glenda Fay Smith meanwhile is still receiving her allotments. A runner at Sixth Army headquarters, Smith has recently been given a battery of physical and mental tests. Though the Army is mum about the results, one officer cracked that Smith...
Gone from the hall in Bad Godesberg were the usual red flags with which West Germany's Socialist party has always announced its allegiance to the workers.

Miss Hellman has given her some of the most perceptive lines in the show, but Miss Wingert delivers them in a sterile dead-pan. Bro Uttal is mis-cast as Julian Berniers. He looks and acts too young for the part of a many-time failure, even a romantic one. Hugh M. Hill, as Henry Simpson, is, on the other hand, physically perfect...
