...killing 100 of the attackers and driving back the remainder. A veteran who saw action against the Japanese in Burma during World War II and against the Pakistanis in 1948, Kaul also served as chief of staff of the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission at the end of the Korean war, where he was accused of favoring the Communists. When he returned to India, Nehru jokingly asked, "Have you turned Red?'' Kaul, who insists that he took a completely neutral position in Korea, answered wryly...
From the ripening sunshine of Brazilian spring, Edward Mortimer Gilbert, 38, flew home last week to weather the wintry discontent of U.S. justice. He seemed to be charged with everything except starting the Korean war: 15 federal fraud charges of, among other things, making a false SEC report and misappropriating $1,953,000 of the funds of the E. L. Bruce Co., Inc., the lumber milling giant that he had bossed before fleeing last June; twelve New York State charges of grand larceny; a U.S. tax lien amounting to $3,500,000. The erstwhile timber wolf of Wall Street faced...
...Year. And G.M. did lead under a crucial Curtice decision in 1954. At a time when businessmen gloomily concluded that the economy's postwar and post-Korean expansion was spent, Curtice told a meeting of 500 top business leaders that G.M. was investing an astonishing $1 billion to build plants.

Harlow Curtice was TIME...
Laurence Harvey is properly icy as the strange Korean War veteran who won a Congressional Medal of Honor for leading a patrol to nearly incredible successes. Frank Sinatra happily avoids overplaying a major in that patrol who begins to wonder what actually happened on it. There is a broadly comic portrayal of a boobish U.S. Senator by James Gregory that calls to mind the antics of the late Joseph McCarthy, and Angela Lansbury is repellantly vicious as his scheming wife...
...tween the damned and the dim. The damned shine phosphorescently. The dim give off flickers of goodness. Among the damned: an ambisextrous movie queen (Salome Jens), a thuggish labor czar (Neville Brand). Among the dim: a songstress with maternal yearnings (Carol Lawrence), a lawyer with a festering case of Korean combat fatigue (Jack Kelly), an aging poet-turned-furniture-dealer (Walter Abel) and his wife (Carmen Mathews) who has a Ponce de Leon complex. From 1 a.m. to dawn, these characters soliloquize, harmonize (around a stage-center piano), and bend the playgoer's ear without touching his heart...
