...script made the characters think and plan. Any thinking or planning in a good English farce should be hasty and bumbling, and yet so surprisingly successful in its inept way that it cannot help but be funny. Here the characters schemed in the adolescent manner that you would expect in a Henry Aldrich radio program. In fact, the plot as it finally thrashed itself out was more on the American comedy plan than the English, with some completely believable people doing completely believable and often unfunny things...
...reflection of his constituents. But Sparkman, who has an otherwise excellent voting record, wrote the Democrats' civil rights plank. Like Hugo Black, who was also a senator from Alabama, Sparkman promises to be a champion of civil rights, once away form his electorate. There is no reason, however, to expect Senator Nixon to change. Although he represents California, a liberal state, Nixon cast his vote against FEPC during the last session of Congress...

We hope, though little expect, that the General will have the courage to disavow this connection before it binds...
Most political observers expect Governor Dever to carry the state by at least 150,000 votes for a third two-year term.

But few hazard predictions on the Kennedy-Lodge contest. The youthful, touseled-haired Kennedy is a highly effective campaigner, but Lodge has shown surprising strength at unexpected moments. Kennedy has attached himself to Dever's ample coat-tails, and by this, expects to slip into...

Walter Taylor, director of Independents for Kennedy, saying "after what he did to Senator Taft, we feel he has forfeited all rights to expect right-thinking people to support him this fall in returning to office." But the attack on Lodge's Eisenhower support is a rationalization of deeper feelings: Isolationist Republicans, like Minority Leader Joseph Martin, have always been hostile toward Lodge because of his support of Truman's foreign policy...
