...Lincoln findings have been on the National Security Council agenda for at least five of the seven weekly meetings of the council. They have been actively discussed each time. The Lincoln findings are also being studied in detail by two important advisory groups, whose verdict the President has indicated he will probably accept. One group-the "Seven Wise Men" as they are called at the White House-was formed by the President himself to consider the level and nature of the American defense effort. The other-a special committee on the air-defense problem headed by Mervin Kelly...
...TIME assumes that President Eisenhower feels privately what he said publicly. He told his press conference that a committee appointed by the past Administration had submitted a report (Project Lincoln) which he had not studied in detail. No general conclusions, he said, had been reached on it in the National Security Council, the Cabinet or anywhere else. TIME does not dismiss as "trivial and inconsequential" the problem of defense and counterattack against Russia.

The chicken opened, too, and there the Czarina discovered an exact replica of the imperial crown, perfect to the last detail. Alexander was so pleased that he immediately gave a standing order for a surprise egg each Easter. When his son Nicholas II came to the throne, the order was doubled: one egg for the Czarina, one for the aging Dowager Empress. The results: some 55 exquisite imperial eggs-plus scores...
...knowing job, as harsh and unrelieved as the barren Mexican settings against which it is played. The three main characters are almost the entire cast. Edmond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy suffer agonizingly as the captives, and William Talman is an effective murderer. Good make-up detail: Actor Talman's deformed right eyelid, like Killer Cook's, which enables him to sleep with one eye constantly, eerily open...
