...only an ordinary memory for names and faces, seldom relaxes ("The only time I ever knew him to relax," says Campaign Executive Director Hy Raskin, "was when he took off a weekend in Atlantic City. And then all he did was to sit on someone's front porch and talk politics"). He has never married. He blends a good sense of practical politics with a fairly idealistic view of "good government." Typical Finneganisms: "Good government is good politics." "There should be a reward for those who make a consistent effort for the party. When men have an ability...
Director Marston Balch has solved the set problem resourcefully. He divided the oval acting arena into two parts. On one he built a platform to represent a villa porch, to which a row of suspended colored lanterns contributed much. Steps led down to the other part, which served as the garden.

At 9:30 p.m., the children returned to Roxbury. To nobody's surprise, Pulitzer Prizewinning Playwright Arthur (Death of a Salesman) Miller, 40, and Cinemactress Marilyn Monroe...
...dozen bit players, seven stunt men who are repeatedly shot off horses, and many of the same Navajo Indians who have been losing battles in John Ford pictures since 1938. By now, all of them perform with practiced ease: the women know just where to stand on the cabin porch as they peer off anxiously into the haze and mesa-filled distances; the men automatically fall into line for a barn dance or a posse. In fact, they may be getting too practiced and familiar. Even John Wayne seems to have done it once too often as he makes...
