Sample come-on for Britons, prepared by Ogilvy, Benson & Mather: "You can tour the U.S.A. for ?35 [$98] a week-without skimping. In the U.S.A. you can travel for 3,000 miles without crossing a border or showing your passport. If you journeyed this far in Europe, you would pass through ten different countries with different laws and different languages. And open your luggage for ten different customs inspectors." As the ads point out, tourists may inspect such monuments to the American way as dude ranches, Mississippi riverboats, Indians, New England clambakes, country square dances...
Director Michael Murray did better with his women. Kathleen Sullivan was a fine Sophie despite an unidentifiable accent; Ann Shropshire and Esther Benson made the fears of Rose Griggs and Constance Tuckerman convincing and sad. Dorothy Sands, playing a wealthy old woman who is aware of how wrong interfering in other people's lives can be, is sprightly without belying her age.

Agriculture Secretary Freeman is the sort of fellow who lives what he preaches. Every couple of hours he pours himself a big snort of milk -to soothe his spastic colon and, incidentally, to dramatize the benefits of dairy products. When he gets tired, Freeman's speech begins to slur-the lingering effect of a facial wound he suffered as a Marine captain on Bougainville. Doctors doubted that he would ever talk again...
Stronger in the Stronghold. It is in its traditional Midwest stronghold that the Republican Party has its best chance for 1962 gains. For one thing. Midwest Republicans no longer carry the burden of Ezra Taft Benson's farm program; now it is Democrats who must carry the cross of Secretary Orville Freeman's plans: > In Nebraska, Fred Seaton, Secretary of the Interior under Eisenhower, is favored to unseat Democratic Governor Frank Morrison...
