...informality has characterized the House. No undergraduate or tutor is ever urged to do things he would prefer not to do, there is no juvenile trumpeting of "Winthrop House accomplishments." Yet, while Owen has been Master, newspapers, literary magazines, playreadings, lecture series, language tables, and a quiet sense of pride in the House have flourished. His style, wry sense of humor, and deep interest in undergraduates have set a tone at Winthrop that will not easily be preserved...

With an air of quiet pride, he announced that the U.S. had secretly developed and successfully tested an aircraft that is far in advance of any ever seen before.

Kirk Douglas does not struggle with personal weaknesses, hate, or pride. Instead, his moral uprightness must choose between military honor and country. The alternatives are black and white, so no interesting doubt exists about the decision he will make. The film is no artistic study of emotions, but a coarse defense of an excellent cold war position. As such, it is fun to watch Hollywood translating the peace ethic...
