Doctor's Dilemma. In New York City, the Daily News medical columnist, Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen, was asked whether men over 50 should wear suspenders or a belt, solemnly replied: "Whatever holds up the trousers...
...Bright Day (by Sigmund Miller) is a briskly mediocre rehandling of a classical dilemma. The dilemma, most memorably set forth in Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, is the one between integrity and self-interest when a source of revenue becomes a source of public danger. In the present case, what shall a drug manufacturer do when he learns that under certain circumstances his chief product is harmful and even fatal?

Last week the dilemma was solved, at least temporarily.

They have found that Communist correspondents, whom they see every day at Panmunjom, are often a better source of truce-talk news than the sparse briefings by U.N.'s own information officers. From such men as Alan Winnington of the London Daily Worker and Wilfred Burchett of Paris' pro-Communist Ce Soir, U.N. correspondents have extracted Red reaction to U.N. proposals even before the U.N. negotiators announced that the proposals had been made. And high-ranking U.N. officers have frequently...
