...violent defiance of federal court orders. Each state, he said, is duty bound to keep mob violence from frustrating "the preservation of individual rights as determined by a court decree . . . My feelings are exactly as they were a year ago." At the same time, the President again declined to bring the moral influence of his office to bear on the integration issue. In a remarkable self-evaluation of his influence, he said that he would not want to "weaken public opinion" by expressing his personal views on desegregation...
Producer-Director Dick Powell wisely spends a minimum amount of time munching on this knackwurst, trains his cameras as much as possible on the stirring capers of F-86s banging about the sky. He would have been even smarter to hire some tanker planes and never bring the jets down...

He went down the wet, dripping, insecure coal mines on the heels of the naked miners-the comparatively fortunate who still had jobs. His picture of the unemployed miners and their wives scrambling for coal...
