Faces on the Wall. In his new office McElroy operates under the gaze of his five predecessors, hanging in oil portraits on the pale blue walls. Set apart is the first Defense Secretary, tight-lipped James Forrestal, whose health was broken by the job. Frame by frame are jowly Louis Johnson, whose ham-handed economy, reducing the forces on the insistence of Harry Truman, left the U.S. almost totally unprepared for Korea; austere George Marshall, who had to work mightily to pick up Johnson's pieces; able Robert Abercrombie Lovett, who found that even-handed patience was not nearly...
...quite so close to three hours. He made brilliant use of the genuine tropical jungle against which the film was made. Scenes of marching men, jungles, hills and rivers are all tremendously effective in their CinemaScopic splendor, and the bridge goes up with a rousing blast. Moreover, every frame is closely bound up with the story: spectacle complements action instead of interfering with...
...smile," one executive shuddered. "It doesn't arouse the cad in a man. It brings out the uncle." And another thing: Maria's earthy body makes a startling contrast to her heavenly face.

Purpose & Power. Crow's neatly proportioned (6 ft. 2 in., 214 lbs.) frame surrounds awesome talent. His choppy, hustling stride sheds tacklers; he is a vicious blocker and a shrewd, swift safety man. On offense or defense, his specialty is hitting opponents with skill, purpose and power. Last year, when Tackle Bobby Lockett teamed up with End John Tracey to bring down Texas Christian's great Halfback Jim Swink, Crow came up to "secure" the tackle, as the football euphemism goes. He knocked both Swink and Tracey goggle-eyed, and Tackle Lockett was belted right...
