...Bevin sped Attlee to Washington with the clearest statement yet of British purposes. The British Government (but not the entire British public) was willing to pay high for a new Big Two-the U.S. and Britain.

Every Life, Everywhere. President Truman, restating U.S. foreign policy (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), spoke directly to Americans who have freedom and want a secure peace. Indirectly, he also spoke to Britain, wartime ally and uneasy peacetime junior partner; to lesser allies who look to the U.S. for leadership; to people everywhere who want freedom; and to the Russians...
Beggars is a tale of two racketeers. Back in Prohibition days Frankie Madison (Paul Kelly) had taken the rap and gone up the river for 14 years. His partner (Luther Adler) has grown rich and respectable, with the help of Frankie's dough, operating a swank supper club. Frankie, getting out of stir, thinks the partnership still exists.

Strauss, partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Co., now a naval reservist and a bitter anti-regular; to exuberant Reserve Captain Luis de Florez, onetime consulting engineer to several oil companies, who is responsible for most of the Navy's special training devices; to younger officers like Vice Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, head of the Bureau of Personnel; to "Navy radicals" like Radford and Mitscher; to the best of the surface ship men, like Rear Admiral W. H. P. ("Spike") Blandy, onetime chief, Bureau of Ordnance; to Eugene Duffield, ex-Wall Street Journal writer...
