...Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, and for that distinction a picture worth seeing; but on all other counts it stinks. Stanley Kramer has degenerated from one of Hollywood's more interesting bad moviemakers into one of its most maudlin. The crude but somehow compelling live-TV quality of Judgment at Nuremberg and Ship of Fools, painted with crayon and musicalized by DeVol, blessed with Sidney Poitier, reveals Kramer to be an exceedingly dull thinker and hardly any artist...
Then came Kramer, Judgment at Nuremberg, still the most polished of his creations, cast Tracy as a New England judge set adrift in the land of war criminals and called on to apply his raw honesty to the ambiguities of complicit guilt and collective responsibility. Tracy exuded New Englandisms and was honest as a rock; but he could carry it no further, because Kramer's picture never achieved even the subtlety of a good Playhouse 90 (Judgment at Nuremberg), incidentally, like Ship of Fools, improves measurably when shown on the home screen).

...does not protect a driver against the cost of injury to himself; it protects him against the possibility of having to pay for someone else's injuries in the event that a court finds him at fault.

This quiet, well-mannered approach to the news has been gaining readers: the Star's circulation has risen 51,078, to 309,245, in the past five years. In the same period, the Post's circulation increased...
...used these ponies, or trots, to pass a course without reading the assigned novels and plays - and often without bothering to attend class either. Only two years ago, Purdue's English Professor Maurice Beebe insisted: "I wouldn't allow my students to use a study guide to Judgment Day written by St. Peter himself." Since then, Beebe has written two trots, and dozens of other top scholars are now turning them out. Their reasoning seems to be that if they cannot outrun the ponies, they may as well ride them...
