...There are those who insist that segregation protects the 'integrity' of both races. There are others who believe, with deep sincerity, [that] Negroes are 'better off' under it. Conceivably this might be argued with some logic. It does not matter. The world, in the throes of a social revolution which began with the coming of the industrial revolution, and which was tremendously accelerated by two great world wars, has moved on. Segregation by law no longer fits today's world...
...Symphony No. 3, which filled out the program, seemed to be quite uneven. The opening largo elegiaco begins with a somber, compelling string sequence that later blends subtly with more agitated material. The orchestration is sometimes sharply contemporary, sometimes comfortably old-fashioned, but there is always an inner logic to this movement (and to the next one) that is almost relentless in its forward motion. Thompson, however, does not seem to sustain these feelings. The last two movements, if heard out of context, would be quite enjoyable; there is a nice, smooth melodic line in the third movement and some...
...broached me on the subject of germ warfare in Korea and China, I could not believe they were serious, since I was certain that I would have had some inkling of it had any U.S. forces actually employed this means of warfare . . .

...rules of TV logic, My Little Margie (Wed. 8:30 p.m., NBC) should have quietly vanished after a brief stint as a summer replacement in June 1952. It was badly written, ineptly acted, and thoroughly panned by the critics (Syndicated Columnist John Crosby described it as "a little stinker"). Margie not only survived, "It flourished, even against such overpowering competition as Arthur Godfrey & His Friends. The latest ARE ratings give Godfrey's Friends a comfortable 52.5, but Margie has 28.1, up nearly three points from last month...
...drawn to the logic of such a bill, one needs only to assume this: within the last twenty years, some American citizens have consciously, and in an organized fashion, used positions of government and society to , at very least, transmit secret information to the Soviet union. Whether they were trying to overthrow the government is debatable, but unless one reads through a dense fog of prejudice, the Rosenberg and Hiss trials, the Congressional sub-committee reports and other recent history, he cannot avoid this conclusion. Since new facts have been turning up with the stale ones almost every week...
