...Navy's Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias, ret. (famous for his wartime broadcasts to Japan), who likes to make people's flesh creep, last week did it again. He reminded the U.S. that its top military men were anything but complacent over "absolute weapons."* In the United Nations World, Zacharias wrote of new non-atomic weapons "that could wipe out the last vestige of human, animal and vegetable life." And then he added: "They are not an American monopoly. Several nations are known to have them, to be making them, and to be improving them. Furthermore, unlike...
...friend of fascists, seditionists, and Hitler, Japanese, and Franco agents. And the press of Boston has reached a pretty low point when it headlines such people's insane accusations.

And the seeking mind can read Significance into several episodes: someone scored a dialectical coup in presenting a smirking, opulent nobleman who rewards the hero, who has won for him a 500 thousand ruble...
...manners and morals change. Today, the public expects damn and not darn when the hero mans damn. And the Johnson Office, carrying forward the late Hays Office white mantle of purity, has eased up along the line, permitting an occasional breath of life to creep into a picture. Unfortunately, Girl Scouts and ex-ward bosses have crawled back into the censorship field and take pot shots at anything coming out of Hollywood in a two piece bathing suit. Significantly, the old adage about the cure being worse than the disease applies here. Witness "Duel in the Sun." Selnick's horse...
