Mark Roskill's poem about Hadrian is straightforward but unconvincing. Its impact depends upon the reading of two words, "resurrect," and "facile," words which the poetic context does not define for me. As a result, the poem is, for me, an amusement...
...investigating labor racketeering last week began to show profound effects within and upon U.S. organized labor. Since the aroma emanated mostly-so far-from Frank Brewster, head of the Western Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (see box), it was the Teamsters who felt the first and greatest impact...
...years, probably more, possibly less, must be traversed before General Schriever's mighty missile graduates from test flight to what he calls I.O.C., meaning "Initial Operational Capability." Many more years will be needed to bring it into U.S.'s front-line force-in-being.

Part of the picture's lack of dramatic impact undoubtedly stems from the routine character of the acting. Only one of the principals, Danielle Darrieux, as Lady Chatterley, brings some life into the proceedings. Her transition from a cool, self-possessed society woman to the wife of a gamekeeper is, on the whole, credible. Leo Genn, in the part of Sir Clifford, gives a singularly plodding performance and his French always sounds self...
