...piano has its anxious note. Some 50 winters have weathered Cagney hard, and he begins to wonder if his filly won't "stray off" when the "grass . . . gets a little too thin around here." She says she won't, but then they quarrel about the "hangin' fever" that sets in whenever Cagney sees a rustler. The girl runs away with a stable boy (Don Dubbins), but she soon comes back-it's such fun to bang on that piano. "Don't worry," Cagney comforts the boy, "a fellow doesn't die from his first...
...shutout or swatting a homer with the bases full is apt to be balanced at any time by an ignominious strikeout or a sad walk to the showers. As the theme of a novel, this carries its own banality if only because no decent reader would want to quarrel with it.

Dr. Thomas Dehler, leader of the Free Democrats, promptly called in a speech at Stuttgart tonight for "bargaining with the Russians for the price for German unity." Dehler was cheered repeatedly as he accused Adenauer of lacking determination to achieve unification, but Adenauer exacted quick revenge for his defeat of last week at the hands of the Free Democrats. The Free Democrats earlier had helped the Socialists wrest...
...vexing and dangerous practical problems of the Middle East are also, especially for Britain and the U.S., problems of moral responsibility. The Arab-Israel quarrel, for instance, is directly traceable to reckless and selfish past U.S. and British deeds and omissions in that region. Responsibility for solutions must rest largely in an agreement between Britain and the U.S. on how to make Arabs and Israelis stop the fighting and begin the stabilization of the area. No doubt the forms of solution will require hard, technical, diplomatic work. But nothing will come of technical gimmicks in this or any other area...
