...everything else about the G.O.P. convention, was straight Eisenhower. Mild in its criticism of the Democrats, it pointed with pride to the achievements of the last 3½ years, and broad-brushed plans for the future. In only one respect did the Platform Committee turn down a strong presidential hint: instead of the short, concise statement he would have liked, Ike and the G.O.P. delegates got a document of 13,500 words, twice the length of the 1952 Republican platform. 1,500 words longer than the 1956 Democratic effort...
...Nikita Khrushchev, warned at a Rumanian embassy reception in Moscow that if attacked "the Arabs will not stand alone. It will be a just war, and there will be volunteers."

Frederic Warriner's touching and gentle Androcles stays always above the merely coy and cute and manges to avoid any hint of the sentimental excess into which the character might fall in less capable hands. The Ferrovius of Robert Evans is wonderfully full and strong, yet fully cognizant of the weakness forced upon him by an overactive conscience. The Christian Lavinia, blown first this way and then that by her emotions, is given stature and grace by Laurinda Barrett, in a performance notable for the clarity of its projection of constantly shifting moods and attitudes. Of the others, Louis Edmonds...
