Maurice Chevalier can still romp through the part of the French lover. His hair is getting thin, and he doesn't show too well in closeups, but these are minor objections. His enthusiasm for this familiar role seems undiminished, his girls are as beautiful as ever, and My Seven Little Sins has the great virtue of not taking itself too seriously...

Breezy Bill Rogers, the son of an upstate New York paper-mill worker, washed dishes through Colgate, took his law at Cornell, became at 23 a member of New York District Attorney Tom Dewey's clean-sweeping staff, sometimes presented as many as 40 minor cases a day.

Now the dramatic Russian technological successes and apparent strains in the Western alliance have forced a revision in this policy of mutual isolation among the two English-speaking powers. But serious problems still remain before even this first step toward increased Western unity can be completed. First, President Eisenhower will have to secure Congressional authorization in order to share nuclear secrets with the British. This will demand great candor and initiative on his part in pushing...
