...there, some of the Big Four had their rough moments: Swedish Champion Sven Davidson caught Ken Rosewall on an erratic day and forced him to go five sets to win. Steady Vic Seixas repeated his Wimbledon finals victory over Denmark's Kurt Nielsen only after wavering before the Dane's superb volleying and dropping a set. Although young Lew Hoad sank Gardnar Mulloy, the grand old (39) man of U.S. tennis, in straight sets, Mulloy, in a sprightly burst of lost youth, carried the third to 11-9.

...chips are down, they stand squarely with the West. The Socialists polled 7,000,000 votes in the 1949 election.

...floor simultaneously, like well-rehearsed ballet dancers. Ride, Vaquero! has some exciting stretches, but Anthony Quinn as the bandit provides the only glimpses of distinction; at moments he is so good that he seems to have ridden into the scene out of some other movie. As a Mexican priest, Kurt Kasznar is conscientious and effective. Miss Gardner is exquisitely bored. Taylor is Taylor. Even the Technicolor is fuzzy, but there are some fine shots of some fine horses...
