...Little Too Late. A wildcat strike of 6,000 transport, industrial and catering workers, paralyzing Pamplona, took the authorities by surprise. Said Civil Governor Carlos Arias: "Order will be re established in a firm and inflexible manner." Though Arias threatened that workers would lose their social benefits, and called out the Guardia Civil, Pamplona's workers paraded the city's sunny streets in their best clothes. The strike fever spread to the Basque city of Bilbao (scene of a 1953 stoppage of shipbuilders), Tolosa, San Sebastian and other northern towns. Thus far only workers in small dispersed industries...

But, in the mean time, most feel that this good end would not best be served by such uncompromising means. Whether it is better to lead slowly or lose one's congregation by leading too fast is the question, and most take the answer to be: go slow...
...contracting with blood pressure. Normal high blood pressure exerts "wear and tear" on the arterial walls without necessarily causing arteriosclerosis. But under changing, abnormally high pressures set off by emotional stress or organic troubles, e.g., certain tumors of the adrenal glands, the arterial walls at the vulnerable junctions lose their elasticity and start to harden.

Researcher Blumenthal's next step is finding out what chemical substances the body builds...
...other actors tend to pall a little beside Loeb, but nearly all of them redeem themselves in the truly funny final scene. Here Edith Iselin, as Portia, and Paul Schmidt, as Bassanio, lose their initial remoteness and become recognizable as lovers. Jean Loud, in the part of Nerissa, is charming throughout, gaining stature as the play progresses. As Launcelot Gobbo, a clown, Michael Pollatsek injects some humor into the early scenes by cleverly contrived pomposity and overacting. Ernest Eugene Pell, on the other hand, gives a somewhat too unobtrusive, if competent, performance as Antonio, the Merchant. Yet the only serious...
...send troops to the Gaza. Even though to let a Middle Eastern war run on unimpeded would be to permit their semi-allies, the Arabs, gradually to crush Israel, the chances are that the Russians would wish to intervene--without the Arab-Israeli balance of forces Russia would lose one of her strongest selling points in the area, Communist arms...
