Across the land this week, the U.S. began registering its young men for a new draft-three, years and 16 days after the end of World War II. The first of 9½ million young men between 18 and 25 stood in patient lines. First to register were the 25-year-olds, who would also be the first to be inducted. Thereafter, eligible men would be called in order of age. Most veterans, married men, men with dependents, public officials, research students, farmers and many others would be deferred. As a starter, the Army asked...
...scrambling just as fierce. Back in July, the first-place Boston Braves had a comfortable six-game margin. The embarrassed Brooklyn Dodgers, last year's champions, grumbled in last place. Fourteen days later the Dodgers, already on the way back, switched from loud Manager Leo Durocher to patient Burt Shotton, and kept going. Last week, in an Ebbets Field doubleheader that had some of the tenseness and all the excitement of a World Series, the rags-to-riches Bums beat the Braves in the opener, 8-7, and seized first place amid pandemonium in the bleachers. A couple...
...exploding locomotive had scalded Fireman Frank Mihlan of the Erie Railroad. When he was carried into Cleveland's Charity Hospital on July 15, doctors thought that he had little chance of living: 70% of his body was burned. Erie Surgeons decided to try something new. They wrapped the patient in bandages made from paper-thin strips of aluminum foil, developed by Toronto's Dr. Alfred W. Farmer. It was the first time aluminum foil for burns had been used in the U.S., the first time it had ever been used for burns of the whole body...
...professional work and private fevers. He is neither miracle man nor mad scientist, as Hollywood so often presents men of his trade. The audience can respect his talents while fearing for his fallibility. There is ham in him, and cold conceit, as he changes face and voice from one patient to the next. He mistreats his wife and dallies with a blonde (Christine Norden), unhappily wondering why he can't be as useful to himself as he is to some of his patients. In short, the psychiatrist is a conscientious man, but the tensions and ambiguities of the veteran...
...communication with the world. In what is obviously a rigorous act of will rather than the product of a freely flowing imagination, Caldwell puts his characters through his standard novelistic paces without once indicating what motivating idea or feeling can possibly be behind them. The reader, no matter how patient, can never find out. Slobbering Sadist. This Very Earth runs its weary preordained course of rape, murder and stupidity without once arousing the slightest emotional response. The dialogue bears no living relationship to the character speaking it, and the characters are all pressed from the same worn Caldwell dies...
