...Jolt for the Left. But the Reutherites were still not satisfied. Murray made a diplomat's gambit. He appointed a committee to draw up a resolution which would satisfy the right wing and not offend the left. The six-man committee was delicately balanced. From the right wing: Reuther; Milton Murray* of the Newspaper Guild; onetime Socialist Emil Rieve of the textile workers; from the left: the furriers' Communist boss, Ben Gold; red-hot Michael Quill of the transport workers, who has been denying for years that he is a Communist; the white-collar workers' pink Abram...
Nobody is surprised to find Keenan Wynn amiable and funny, Lucille Ball tough and funny, and Esther Williams in a bathing suit in "Easy to Wed." Nor is it a jolt when ahs and ohs and girlish sighs accompany the first appearance of Van Johnson and reoccur at unpredictable moments throughout.

(Field on Robertson: "A damned good man; I hate to lose him.") Both had been with PM from the start. Said the five in a signed statement: ". . . We cannot in good conscience continue to work for Ralph Ingersoll. . . . His illiberalism and intolerance have offended...
Svirsky's journalistic aspirations received their first jolt when he "failed badly" as a heeler for the Yale Daily News. With a successful newspaper career behind him in spite of that rejection, he now recalls that the News was chiefly a haven for big men on the Eli campus. "Journalism didn't count for much with them...
