...Madame Chiang Kaishek, a photograph of Sun Yat-sen and Madame Sun. Gone was Nehru's laughter and the jokes he had made with the Chiangs last spring when they conferred on world problems in a villa at New Delhi. Great masses of flowers had been in bloom then. Now the flowers in India were burned out in the summer heat. So was Nehru burned out, his handsome face drawn in lines of fatigue and sorrow...
...Married An Angel (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) vigorously rubs the bloom from the wings of the brisk, fresh, imaginative musical that ran on Broadway four years ago. Then it had bounce, charm, a good Rodgers & Hart score, and the electric presence of grave, ashen, graceful Vera Zorina, every man's idea of a down-to-earth angel.

He asked a few questions, such as when the Japanese cherry blossoms would bloom, but was usually quiet, his expressive hands working as when he makes a speech. That night, at a dinner given him by Senator Tom Connally, Ezequiel Padilla said: "I toast the greatness of this American nation. . . . In human history never has any nation on the earth had a greater job than the United States has now. Nevertheless, in all the phases of this job shines...
