...with committee, public and press. "Frankly. I like to meet important people. Is that so bad? In the country where I was born, it took two or three generations for a 'poor man' to get to know important people . . . Nor did I ever realize that it was evil to be generous. Perhaps I do give gifts to too many people, but if I do, it is only an expression of my nature." Another expression of Goldfine's nature came later when he tried to beat the House subcommittee to the punch by admitting to reporters that...
...Time, Joe." Jimmy announced the plan after meeting with two strongmen in the transport business: Joe Curran, 52, lantern-jawed, battle-scarred boss of the seamen's National Maritime Union (membership: 40,000), and Captain (tugboat) William Bradley, 55, paunchy president of the evil-smelling International Longshoremen's Association (membership: 52,000), which was thrown out of the A.F.L. five years ago.

Orson Welles is one of the most imaginative geniuses in the theatrical world today; in Touch, aided by Charlton Heston, he uses his unflagging gifts to produce a masterful film. In Cry, James Mason and Rod Steiger try to outwit each other, with climactic scenes in an elevator shaft and a subway tunnel...
...David Brown (TIME, April 9, 1956), is one of those embarrassing pictures that say all the right things but obviously do not understand what they mean. It says that war is hell, that love is holy, that color is only skin-deep, that insincerity is the root of all evil. But it says all these things as a parrot requests a cracker, by rote and without conviction ; and instead of conviction, the picture offers a tediously sentimental farewell to arms and a rather painful exhibition of the sort of placebo liberalism that finds no difficulty in accepting racial equality-provided...
