...ambassadorial posts have some qualifications. There is, however, no such presumption that noncareer nominees are qualified. The burden on noncareer people is to prove to the committee that they are qualified."

Burbled the Herald Tribune's Walter Kerr: "Best damn musical I've seen in years." Said Brooks Atkinson of the Times: "Most satisfactory musical of the season." The critical fan-farenade for what is, at best, a so-so show would be a puzzler if the answer was not blazoned on the marquee. The answer: Ethel Merman.
