From such men (and a full list would be a very long one!) the Republicans can obtain the leadership necessary to recapture the country. But such a reconstitution of the party will require support from the rank and file. For example, if the new Republicans recognize publicly that Lord Keynes advanced some suggestions of great utility in managing a mid-twentieth century economy and if this outrages the archaic, provincial mind of Representative Martin, the outcome within the party may turn upon the reaction and behavior of the faithful.

...confirmed D'Oyly Carte enthusiast, J. Arthur Rank's current production of "The Mikado" will probably be a disappointment. While a play like "Hamlet" falls naturally into a movie, even after it has been dismembered and reassembled differently, "The Mikado" on celluloid somehow just doesn't seem right.

Big-league baseball, once thought to be TV's top draw, now rates a poor second to variety shows competing at the same hour. ¶ Films are being used more & more, but lookers seem to like them less & less. Films now rank after variety, sport and audience-participation shows. But movies may eventually prove a hit if they are made especially...
