...pretty strong argument for permitting bars in theatres. Though the authentic setting, with elegant committee room and scurrying plenipotentiaries, is admirable, the play conveys with appalling faithfulness the tedium of the average U.N. session. The opening scene promises a melodrama dressed in the intriguing cutaway of international incident. Once the curtain has fallen, however, on the unique spectacle of the French and British U.N. delegates sneaking a corpse out of the U.S. delegate's apartment, the play rolls on like a tumbrel through scenes which seem to bore even the actors.

The only man who had once seamed a more likely prospect than Taft, New Hampshire's Styles Bridges, became president pro tempore, a mostly honorary post which he could claim by virtue of his top seniority (16 years) among Republican Senators. California...
...entry into the water. Complicated acrobatics can win high point credit-but they also risk a bellyflop and an irretrievable point loss. To qualify with seven rivals in the finals last week, Skippy performed six dives including a half gainer, a back jackknife and a cutaway 1½ somersault...
