...then indulge in some vague philosophising, ("Perhaps nothing happens unless somebody dreams it first.") while a phonograph blares out with heavy-handed irony, "Everything in the dream was lovely." A somewhat stiff performance by Michael Redgrave as the officer does not help much either. He is overshadowed by Alexander Knox, who performs convincingly as one of the passengers, a civil servant caught between intellectual disbelief and emotional fear of superstition. In the end, the picture leaves the impression that it is laboring hard to appear profound rather than merely entertaining...
British Governor General Sir Knox Helm (since resigned) ordered the Negro soldiers to surrender to the authorities. Trusting the British, some 700 mutineers gave themselves up, but a campaign of counterterror launched by the northern Sudanese put the rest to flight. Some Negro rebels cast off their uniforms and returned to tribal life; others went on pillaging villages. Thousands of tribesmen fled with their families to the Belgian Congo and Uganda.

Knox of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and A. H. Smith, vice chancellor of Oxford University...
...exceptionally profitable afternoon for Michigan State, but on the West Coast, U.C.L.A. served notice that a Rose Bowl victory might cost the Spartans a great deal more than their tickets to Pasadena. Even without the services of Pinup Boy Ronnie Knox, U.C.L.A. was far too tough for its cross-town rival, U.S.C. Behind the bruising drive of Tailback Sam Brown and Fullback Bob Davenport, the Bruins overpowered the Trojans 17-7, won their third straight Pacific Coast Conference championship and the unenviable privilege of trying to bottle up Michigan State's multiple offense come New Year...
