Last week's excommunication marked a stage in the reluctant recognition by Rome that the Communists were probably making considerable headway in their drive to split parts of the Catholic hierarchy away from Rome. Cleverly, the Reds have avoided an all-out assault on religion as such. They are trying to create "national" churches. While several national Christian churches have flourished for centuries, there is no record (and no probability) of a national church lasting long under an anti-Christian government...

Calvinism-under the name of Presbyterianism-became the national Church of Scotland in 1560.

This may be the reason the movie loses headway early and becomes a tiresome wait for the worm to turn and give Joan Crawford her comeuppance...

...market's character had changed. Stocks of companies which seemed most likely to feel the first cutbacks in civilian production (notably television) made little headway. The big demand was for shares of aircraft, oil, steel, railroad, rubber and other industries likely to get war orders. The railroads, which had lagged far behind the peacetime market's climb, chalked up a gain of 5.08 points in the Dow-Jones rail average, closed at 59.46, the highest mark since the big post-election break...
