Rainville said the government had apparently not considered the possibility of taking testimony from the Senators by deposition, a written document, and wants all the Senators to be present. "The government would have proposed the deposition a long time ago," he said...
...vortex of the Negro issue in the U.S. is a constitutional lawyer. The Sore Arm. His is a highly technical calling. The Constitution itself is a complex work of statecraft, put together by some of the most sophisticated political scientists who ever lived. Along with the document there is the constitutional residue of 168 years (this Saturday) of intense legal, political and social history-a coral-like cathedral of precedent, compromise, balance and bold interpretation. It takes scholars to move in this maze-and Thurgood Marshall is a sound, conscientious, imaginative legal scholar, although by no means the best...
This is the sensational true story that The Phenix City Story tries to tell. The trouble is that in trying to handle their dramatic subject with a "documentary" technique the producers have come up with an overexcited document, and a drama that too often trickles away into the fine print.

The actors try hard to weather naturally into the scene. Edward Andrews succeeds wonderfully...
...prisoners of war. The code resulted from the bitter experience of the Korean war, in which 38% of 7,190 U.S. prisoners of war died of disease, malnutrition or maltreatment,* and in which at least 192 P.W.s were found chargeable with collaborating with the enemy. It was a stern document, founded upon "the qualities which we associate with men of integrity and character," for it summoned U.S. fighting men to defy enemy interrogators, and to deny the enemy the advantages of luring Americans from their allegiance...
...Social Document. Writes Critic Bazin: "The Corneilleian simplicity of the western scenario has often been parodied. It is true that it is easy to detect an analogy to Le Cid: same conflict between love and duty, same knightly deeds, resulting in the virgin consenting to forget the insults to her family . . . But this comparison is ambiguous: to mock westerns by evoking Corneille is also to point out their grandeur, a grandeur perhaps close to puerility, even as childhood is close to poetry . . . Everyone, children and simple men, recognizes the naive grandeur of western movies. Epic and tragic heroes are universal...
