...envy in the U.S. Uruguay has resources and will undoubtedly overcome its difficulties in the economic field; its biggest assets: an ideal geographical position, a 3,000,000 all-white population and 100,000 sq. mi. of fertile land. With a political tradition of stability and freedom, full prosperity cannot be far away. We haven't noticed any special public or private favoring of trading with the Reds. If negotiations with Communist countries do prosper in a small way, it is mostly because the U.S. discriminatory tariffs against our wool prevent us from selling...
...rest of the cast is rendered ineffective, by the script and the direction, both handled by Steve Salomon. The original French short story by Prosper Merime is difficult enough to believe, but Salomon added to this original fault by making much of the dialogue painfully simple, and by overworking both the theme and meanings through constant narration...
Barring a certain garrulity, Playwright Rattigan has done his full share-in characterization and atmosphere, in sharp touches and emotional scenes-to make such stunt-writing prosper.

And in the second play, where he might seem to be protesting against much that is amiss in English life...

Some labor leaders were sure to make a fist at the very suggestion of even temporary disruptions of employment...
...expected that Russia, with its veto power, would let the Security Council take any action, either to undo or punish Nasser's seizure. The U.S. was surprised at the timing, but acquiesced. Said Dulles: "This is an interdependent world, and you cannot thrive and prosper if you deny the principle of interdependence." Taking the case to the U.N. was another way of airing the West's concern, of impressing the world with its urgency and of seeking a settlement by means rooted not in the jungle...
