...other roles are all to some extent casualties of the script. While a few--Warburton, Pansy, Goodwood--are basket cases, even longer parts are challenges to convey in fifty lines a character etched by James in as many pages.

Already legal are ⅜-bu. baskets made of splints, but, explained Florida's Spessard Holland, these are less satisfactory for tree-ripened fruit. ¶ Passed a $29 billion defense appropriation after voting down, 38 to 50, Massachusetts' John Kennedy's attempt to add $350 million to keep the Army at its present 19-division strength. Michigan's Homer Ferguson argued that the cost of continuing the two divisions...
