...active in state politics. Abernethy committed his major sin last May when he keynoted a meeting of the Democrats of Texas, a new liberal faction of the state Democratic Party. He bluntly charged that the followers of Shivers and Daniel had tried to suppress the liberals by refusing to grant their delegates official status at the 1956 state convention. "We insist," said he. "that there must be no more rigging and stealing control of Democratic Party conventions by cynical and ruthless political manipulation." In spite of his political activities, Abernethy has never been known to propagandize on campus...
...headlined case of Army Specialist Third Class William S. Girard, 21, who shot and killed a Japanese woman while on duty, but without authorization, on a rifle range in Japan last January. The sharp issue was whether the Administration had the right to decide -as it did decide-to grant a Japanese request for jurisdiction over Girard under the status-of-forces agreements. Federal District Judge Joseph C. McGarraghy had held that since Girard acted while on duty, he had a constitutional right to a U.S.'court-martial (TIME, July 1). The Supreme Court cut through the on-duty...

Sharing his ordeal of moving the gun overland, through French-commanded passes and along sen-tried back roads, is a weird ally, a spick-and-span British navy gunnery expert (Gary Grant), who, believing that war is a gentleman's affair, is appalled by the barbaric tactics of Sinatra's uncouth band. Italy's Sophia Loren, as a busty errand girl, is a dispensable part in a story that Forester correctly conceived as all-male. The Pride...
Sinatra-despite spitcurl bangs and a put-on accent-expectably works hardest, acts best. Captain Grant suavely keeps trying not to remind himself of Horatio Hornblower. So they finally get the gun to the long shadow of Avila's wall, blast their opening at 1.600 yards, and sliding in on their own blood, overwhelm the hated occupiers. Thus Producer Kramer conquers Napoleon's forces. But somehow the whir of the cameras often seems as loud as the thunderous cannonades. It evidently takes more than dedication, cooperative multitudes and $4,000,000 to shoot history in the face...
