...Kennedy expected the church to keep out of his politics, so he intended to keep out of church matters. What if the Catholic Church used its "privilege and obligation," as white-haired Baptist Minister K.O. White called it, to direct Kennedy's political life?

When President Eisenhower submitted his record $41 billion defense budget to the Congress last January, he set his military jaw and let it be known that he would authorize no more spending than that for defense. That resolution lasted until last week...
Blond and crewcut, with a jutting jaw and cold green eyes, Maris is all athlete.

Frederic Moorehouse in the central role of Moorehouse starts out a bit wobbly but gains control as the character grows older. Ann Lilley's performance is aided by her engaging face, fascinating body, and versatile voice.
