Gushed a fashion writer: "Ski wear in general has got over the whimsies and settled down to functional good looks." To many an old skier it looked as if the new functionalism-designed chiefly for women-had taken the sport right off the slopes and into the cocktail lounge...
...Chico, head of the working bandits, J. Carroll Naish does a fine eye-rolling caricature of the stock "Mexican general." He is greased-up, bulb-nosed, and hidden by eyebrows and mustache heavy enough to make a hair shirt. The dancers (Ricardo Montalban, Sono Osato, Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse) are easy to watch.

This has so irked the prophets that they have almost left off prognosticating Forrestal's successor. However, a few columns have come forth grudgingly to nominate General Eisenhower, Army Secretary Royall, and Henry L. Stimson, who was in the Cabinet when Dewey was knocking around in knickers...
