...lose interest in the forthcoming campaign on the theory that Mr. Eisenhower has victory in the bag. We hope this attitude will not prevail. We were not among those who believed that Republican prospects depended entirely upon Mr. Eisenhower's decision. The Republican Party is not a one-man party, and this is not a one-party country. A great many things can happen between now and November...
...parody, and a rather subtle one, of Hollywood's own breed of medieval extravaganza. The turning point seems to come after Roderick, gurgling, "Wenches, laughter, song!

MOSCOW, Feb. 24--The 20th Congress of the Communist party today unanimously warned against any attempt to restore one-man rule in the Soviet Union. It publicly flashed a big red light against any person in the party who might try to take over Stalin's role. Party boss N. S. Khrushchev and all other top leaders have told the Congress they are devoted to the principle of collective rule. They have disavowed any intention to return to the one-man system...
