None of them want the military effort to be increased, and 83 per cent of them either ask that the military effort be reduced or that the U.S. withdraw entirely. One out of every three of these students who expect to be drafted say that they will not follow orders to fight in Vietnam. Almost 60 per cent of the students in this category say that they will...

The property--Arnold Bennett's novel Buried Alive--made two successful movies, and there seemed no reason why it couldn't sustain a successful musical too. But Nunnally Johnson, who did the screenplay to the 1943 movie Holy Matrimony, has merely tightened his script a little and introduced a few new scenes in converting it to musical comedy. It isn't enough. Though Holy Matrimony was a charming comedy, its success is in retrospect attributable to the genius...
