Those who asked "How much good is U.N. in a showdown?" might soon have an answer. Russia's Gromyko had vetoed the mild U.S. resolution to set up a two-year border watch there.

There is the boozy prison doctor (Art Smith) with a heart of gold and some of the crummiest "philosophy" ever scraped out of the bottom of a cracker barrel. There...
