Slice of Life. Dragnet's realism is simply a byproduct of Webb's lust to entertain. As director, story editor, casting chief and star of the show, he purposely refrains from dramatic artifice, and thus achieves a different kind of dramatic effect. Seldom has the slice-of-life technique of storytelling been so successfully transmitted to film. Dragnet is not a whodunit at all, and both murder and the sound of gunfire are rare on its shows. Webb sometimes produces truly frightening effects (as in The Big Jump, a film in which he struggles with a madman...
Around cigarmaking Tampa (635 million cigars last year), vast phosphate deposits provide the U.S. with 77% of its supply. And this industry will soon become even more significant when two companies begin production of uranium as a phosphate byproduct. To supervise this, the AEC recently opened a branch office at Plant City, near the west coast...
Risk & Opportunity. In this confusion lies the principal reason why Geneva can be more dangerous than Berlin. The U.S. knows its mind on Europe much better than it does on Asia. Just like Panmunjom, Geneva can become an irrevocable byproduct of aimlessness unless President Eisenhower and Dulles succeed in defining objectives in Asia. If they do not, they run high risk at Geneva; if they do, the risk is lower, and Geneva takes on the look of opportunity...
...Slow-Up? How the natural gas industry felt about the ruling became quickly evident at the winter meeting of the Interstate Oil Compact Commission in Oklahoma City. Some oilmen who produce gas merely as a byproduct recklessly threatened to burn their gas rather than submit to federal regulation, since they feared it would open the way to oil price regulation also. Since oil and gas frequently come from the same well, regulating the price of one would affect the price of the other. Others pointed out that recent contracts between gas producers and pipeline customers provided for automatic cancellation...
Hopeful Compromise. Sudan's first national election was in no sense the culmination of a people's long struggle to be free. At best it was the hopeful byproduct of a diplomats' compromise, reached between Sudan's master, Imperial Britain, and its expansion-minded neighbor, Egypt. The British annexed Sudan in 1899, after an Anglo-Egyptian army defeated Mahdi's followers at the battle of Omdurman. At first both London and Cairo shared the administration, but in 1925 the British kicked their partner out. Egyptian independence left Sudan as the northern bulwark of Britain...
