...clash over "legitimate newsgathering rights" resulted last week in a decision by U.S., Canadian and European newsreel and TV film groups to boycott the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. The newsreelers wanted to use up to nine minutes a day of footage filmed by their own cameras.

...parable of man at war and an odd, rapt bit of poetry of the sea. There are no storms, either of men or of elements, as the clumsy LCT flotilla makes its way from the Firth of Clyde to its appointment with history on the beaches of Normandy. Personalities clash, but, as they must under the imperatives of war, such clashes collapse inconclusively...
