Street is a workmanlike, exciting show, but basically it does not seem different enough from a lot of crime fiction to be worth all the documentary bother. Semi-documentaries are verging, in fact, toward formula. If they are to realize their fine potentialities-or even stay as good as they started, they need new ideas and new problems. Self-repetition is not immediately fatal; but it brings death to the door, and leaves the door on the latch...
...worth while trying to cure alcoholics? At least 60% of U.S. doctors don't bother (TIME, Jan. 20, 1947). Some psychiatrists are more hopeful. They think that most alcoholics can be cured if both doctors and patients try hard; alcoholics, they think, are apt to be sensitive people, well worth saving...

Someone suggested he go to Chelsea Royal Hospital, but it admits only veterans recommended for good conduct. "How," asked an official contemplating Campbell's case, "can you recommend good...
...staying in office. Higher wages have been showered on them (up 150% since 1943); massed descamisados are drafted for "spontaneous" demonstrations, and have gained a sense of participation in government they never had before. If they have lost what independence they had, it doesn't seem to bother them. Most serious hitch ahead: whether Perón can hold them despite zooming living costs...
