Arts in the Cabinet. Viewers were treated to a better-than-average week of pure entertainment. Jack Benny, playing the part of the New York Giants' Shortstop Alvin Dark, co-starred with Giant Manager Leo Durocher in a parody of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. But the mutiny (Benny takes over the management of the Giants during the World Series) was a good deal funnier than the court-martial. ABC's Disneyland scored another ten-strike with a show devoted to Donald Duck from his inception until his final glowering flowering. CBS's Ed Murrow had another...
...Washington last week, the Army threw out its charges against Lieut. Colonel Melvin Voorhees, former Eighth Army chief censor and public-information officer (TIME, March 2, 1953). Reservist Voorhees, who had been ordered dismissed from the service without pay or allowances, had been convicted by a court-martial of failing to clear his book, Korean Tales, which criticized both the Army's handling of the Korean war and the newsmen who covered...
...TIME'S drama critic, Louis Kronenberger. Since last season was memorable for many competent rather than outstanding plays, Kronenberger concedes that the ten best he selected were not markedly better than the next ten.

The immense martial array is controlled by three main international commands: SACLANT (for Atlantic convoy routes), CHANCOM (for the English Channel) and SACEUR (for Europe and the Mediterranean). Behind it lies the long-range strategic air power of the U.S. Strategic Air Command and Britain's Bomber Command. The bomber force, with...
...aging Whig skeptic was handed the unusual task of explaining the basic principles of faith and politics to an innocent girl. The young Queen all but fell in love with him. "Dear Lord M" (as the Queen called him in her diary) could explain anything, from the martial conquest of Canada to the marital conduct of Henry VIII ("Those women bothered him so," he told her). He was always so reassuring about everything. "If you have a bad habit," he said, "the best way to get out of it is to take your fill of it." Complicated matters, such...
