...many respects, Joy to the World, is a much better imitation of Hollywood than an indictment. It digs just as deep into the trash basket, and just as often; and while urging Hollywood not to be cowardly, at no time does it make Broadway seem brave. But the show is very well produced. Alfred Drake makes an excellent Soren, and in her first Broadway role, Hollywood's Marsha Hunt looks and proves delightful. Playwright Scott gets in some funny cracks and lively scuffles, and knows what Hollywood is like; but every time his findings bump up against his formula...
...outer reaches of the diamond, Samborski will probably send Len Lunder in right field, Jim Kenary in center, and Caulfield in left. But reserves in these positions are pretty deep and Coach Samborski will have no trouble in finding replacements, should anything unforeseen develop...
...strode on to the U.S. presidential-election stage. The audience perked up immediately. Here, among characters whose performances were greying with familiarity, was an actor of Olympian manner and delivery, a man to put emotion into the show.

Many begging letters Pius XII marked with a gold pencil, so that help should be sent immediately. Then he came to a letter from an industrialist who complained of the excessively high commissions charged by the Vatican for personal loans...
...Massachusetts Senators, Lodge and Saltonstall, have been among the Seaway's most vociferous opponents. Lodge held that the 27-foot channel wouldn't be deep enough to allow passage for more than a small percentage of U.S. ships. He pointed out that the river was frozen over in the winter anyhow. Casting suspicion on the cost estimates in general, Lodge compared the planning to "a man running across the country like a house afire with his shirt tail out." Saltonstall felt that provisions to give New York control of power facilities were bad for the surrounding states. "New York will...
