Producer-Director Dick Powell wisely spends a minimum amount of time munching on this knackwurst, trains his cameras as much as possible on the stirring capers of F-86s banging about the sky. He would have been even smarter to hire some tanker planes and never bring the jets down...

In the past six months, nearly two score Chinese servants employed in foreign embassies in Peking (including even that of "comradely" Czechoslovakia) have been whisked off to jail.

In Algeria, news of the appointment made the wavering Moslems cooler to De Gaulle, while the colons' Committee of Public Safety proclaimed a victory. Others saw Soustelle's appointment as a neatly timed maneuver to deprive...
