...loses much as black-and-white viewing, the show's appeal is unique in current programing. Its light comic touch, in both content and style, keeps the most fragile whimsy aloft and should start adults elbowing children for space in front of the set.

...Flaw. The Government's case, as set forth in the complaint, was meager. It merely said that competition between the two companies would be eliminated in coke-oven byproducts, pig iron and semifinished steel products, but presented few specific details to show how, made no mention of the fact that even after the merger, Beth Steel would still be far smaller than U.S. Steel.

This attitude is what makes either of the two possibilities of another Republican administration distasteful. Neither an Eisenhower nor a Nixon-turned-Eisenhower (which is the best that can be hoped for) is adequate. For leadership by team spirit alone is not enough, either in the nation or in the world...
