Diplomacy by Swoon "The latest diplomatic feint," said a U.N. wag last week, "is the dead faint." The trend was set by Iran's new Premier Mossadeq, who swoons whenever he gets really worked up during a political speech (TIME, May 21). Last week, Israel's U.N. Delegate Abba S. Eban, a good deal younger (36) than Iran's 70-year-old Premier and far more robust, followed the fashion: at the end of an hour-long speech before the Security Council, Eban blanched, staggered out of the Council chamber and keeled over in the corridor...
...bright as well as a dark side to MacArthur's stalemate. The Chinese, as well as the allied forces, seemed to be pinned down in Korea. Since they intervened, their program of aggression and expansion in Asia had gained nothing. They failed to follow up their feint in Tibet; they stood idly by while Ho Chi Minh's Communists in Indo-China and the Communist-led Huks in the Philippines got their ears pinned back; Burma, Siam, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Formosa and Japan are as intact as they were last November...
When the U.S. 25th Division crossed the Han last week, the Turkish brigade attached to the division was ordered to make a diversionary feint two miles upstream. A company of infantry reinforced by engineers went to the designated spot, made a loud splashing in the water. Then they retired, noisily chopped some wood, returned to the river and pushed out from shore several log rafts and a boat loaded with dummies in old Turkish uniforms. An artillery and mortar barrage provided "cover" for the phantom force...
...cynical racketeer fattening on the dues and fees of an ignorant rank & file. In the movie's best performance, Actor Cochran, bullying and toadying by turn, creates a picture of an ugly, slack-witted Klansman. Storm Warning hits hard at these characters. By knowing when to feint as well as when to punch, the picture loses no excitement, gains a chance to make its message connect where it will do the most good...
Hatch added another point at 14:06, after White's feint pulled Blue goalie Paul Cruikshank out of the way. By this time, the only question was whether or not Corning would keep his shutout. The Elis had a last chance to escape a blanking just after Harris scored the final goal at 17:19. Joe Kittredige received a two-minute penalty for high sticking, which left the Crimson a man short again...
