...with more than a lifetime's travel and experience, which can harden the warmest humanist, Siegfried still maintains an optimistic outlook. Opposed to Toynbee, he does not believe in the inevitable clash of the Western and Communist camps. "Technology," asserts Siegfried, "will be the binding force of the future." Democracy and Communism are certainly at appearance incompatible; but technology, claims the professor, is universal, and the leaders of the world must learn to stand together, or they will fall together on this common ground...
...Bigger Keystone. After disposing of these pleasant figures last week, Dwight Eisenhower and his budgetmakers turned to the future. What is the outlook for fiscal 1957, beginning next July 1? Defense spending, keystone of the whole budget structure, is expected to go up about $500 million. Despite some demands for an increase to counteract the Soviet Union's new economic warfare, foreign aid is expected to cost about the same ($2.7 billion), with some shifts in emphasis to meet the new Russian activity.

Even a lengthy, schmaltz denoucment, complete with a sing-song rendition of "Goin' Home" (from, naturally enough, the New World Symphony), doesn't seem ludicrous after an intense portrayal of life in the hospital wards, Director Anatole Litvak uses occasional special effects with great success, particularly for the doctors' Inquisition to which each patient must submit before release. The flash-back technique, employed when doctors probe the patient's unconscious to unearth disturbing influences, is slick and convincing...
