...Love Again (Walter Wanger) puts a favorite poser of slick-paper fiction, viz., whether there is a spark in that old campus romance yet, these ten years later. Its answer is a heart-warming yes, echoing around the shaded quiet of a i Vermont college town. Producer Walter ; Wanger has a theory of picture-making akin to Baseball's immortal Willie Keeler's formula for a good batting average ("Hit 'em where they ain't"). Hence this film, a reworking of the essentials of Allene Corliss' Summer Lightning (cloudbursts & all) aims soberly at the heart...

British police who have spent the past year vainly trying to keep Palestine's Jews and Arabs from each other's throats were faced with a new poser last week. In a shallow grave in an orange grove near Tel Aviv was discovered the moldering body of Jacob Zwanger, onetime Soviet Vice-Commissar of Harbors for the Black Sea region. The police discovered that he had been stabbed 17 times and strangled in the basement of a nearby house owned by Reuben Schenzvit, gunrunner and onetime salesman for the late munitions tycoon, Sir Basil Zaharoff. In the house...

...shall have the right to say to whom American ship operators must entrust their ships. Employers believe that the owners should have this right. To resume negotiations under current circumstances would be useless." This attitude Harry Lundeberg termed "arbitrary and unreasonable." Thus last week the situation remained the old poser: what happens when the irresistible meets the immovable...
