...23rd Parliament was assured a short life when the voters last June failed to give any party a ruling majority; Diefenbaker's Tories were merely the largest bloc with 113 of the House of Commons' 265 seats. But Diefenbaker had skillfully steered the legislation to put into effect most of his campaign promises, e.g., expanded social security benefits, bigger cash payments to farmers, more revenues to the provinces...

...patients treated since the late summer of 1955 at Frankfurt's University Medical Clinic, said Dr. Pfeiffer, 78% achieved good control of their diabetes, and the benefit shows every sign of lasting. (Tolbutamide is not a substitute for the body's natural insulin. It apparently achieves its effect by boosting the release into the blood stream of insulin, which, in most adult patients, continues to be secreted by the pancreas.) Tolbutamide did no good from the start in 8% of cases. In a further 8% it had to be dropped because early good results wore...

...light hand might have rescued what is young and touching in such scenes from what is infantile and mawkish, but Producer Selznick (Gone With the Wind) likes to keep production under his thumb. He bears down to good effect in the battle sequences among the umber Dolomites, and he shrewdly distracts his audience, during the dullest stretch of the story, with a ravishing cinemalbum of the blue Italian lakes. Jennifer Jones's heroine appears to be more neurotic than the plot requires, and the final stages of her pregnancy, as the camera just keeps staring at her heavily padded...

Author W. A. (Sickles the Incredible) Swanberg magnifies Sumter's importance for dramatic effect, tending to cast it as an actual cause of the Civil War instead of the incident that set off a conflict long inevitable. Nonetheless, in the policies of drift and duplicity that led to Edmund Ruffin's pulling the lanyard, and in the strains it placed on the minds and loyalties of the men involved, Sumter can serve as a microcosm for the Civil...
