Through Newcomer Jerry Hopper's direction, The Atomic City has a headlong pace and an on-the-spot realism with scenes shot around Los Angeles, Santa Fe and Los Alamos. Edge-of-the-seat sequence: the FBI's helicopter rescue of the kidnaped boy from the precipitous Puye Indian ruins near Los Alamos in a dizzying, cliff-hanging climax...
Malan's headlong rush towards a narrow Afrikaner state-anti-British and anti-black-was too much for one of South Africa's oldest living heroes: 80-year-old General Sarel Francois Alberts. In the Boer War, Alberts fought alongside the late great Field Marshal Smuts against the hated British; after Smuts made peace (in 1902), they fought one another. Alberts, in 1914, rebelled against South Africa's pro-British government; he was defeated and captured by one of Smuts's toughest lieutenants: Dolf de la Rey. Since then, captor and captive have gone their separate...
...Britain, political activity was stilled and party strife suspended at a moment when Parliament was plunging headlong toward a serious split over foreign policy, its first since 1940.

With a thunder of hoofs and a "Hi-yo, Silver . . . awa-ay!", The Lone Ranger this week gallops headlong into his 20th year on radio. As a reward for fighting virtue's fight in comic books, cartoon strips and on TV (Thurs. 7:30 p.m., ABC) as well as radio (Mon., Wed., Fri. 7:30 p.m., ABC), the masked rider grosses $5,000,000 a year. Most of the profits go to George W. Trendle, 67, a Detroit businessman (movie theaters, radio stations) who had the original idea for the Ranger back in 1932. His formula for the show...
...three poems can be summed up in a word: esoteric. Both Charles Neuhauser's "Sunday in Jersey" and Douglas Freelander's "Death of the Old Singer" start off with some promise of entertainment for the general reader, but plunge headlong into a thick fog before they are half done. "Billet Doux," by Robert Layzer, is simply a nifty little sentiment, niftily expressed...
