Wrote hard-to-please Critic William Whitebait in the New Statesman and Nation: "What sort of music it is, whether jaunty or sad, fierce or provoking, it would be hard to reckon; but under its enthrallment, the camera comes into play . . . The unseen zither-player ... is made to employ his instrument much as the Homeric bard did his lyre." Said Alan Dent in the Illustrated London News: "The real hero I should call the unseen zither-player...
...because it could not. However, Messrs. Hickman and Jack Lavalle have seen Harvard's defensive setups. The latter, an operative whose girth is comparable to Hickman's and whose football sagacity is legendary, scouted Army nine times a year for three years while in the employ of the Notre Dame Athletic Association. If he found flaws in the 1944, 1945, and 1946 Army lines he must have noticed by now the carefree fashion in which Princeton and Brown went through the center of Harvard's line.

The pictures gave interesting insights into the preoccupations of people who, sometimes more than the windy statesmen...

An extravagant administrator, Curley has spent every cent he can get his hands on plus some of the future tax money, to employ everyone he can. He has, too, allowed even fostered sources of flagrant graft in the city's government. On the other hand, he has accomplished a number of worthwhile projects--housing, recreational facilities, reads. His opponents accuse Curley of keeping the tax rate at a sky-high $56.80; of maintaining high assessment valuation; and of abating assessed valuation discriminately. Yet, Curley can point that...
