...York City alone has lost 500,000 upper-and middle-income-bracket families to the suburbs since 1943; those who remain are poorer, less able to pay taxes for expensive city services. Lower tax returns, in turn, mean more crowding and more slums. Says Detroit City Planner Paul Reid: "Newcomers, for the most part, are in the lower economic level. As they settle in the city, others who have attained medium or high wage levels move out." Furthermore, those moving to the suburbs are often among the most civic-minded citizens; thus the cities lose leadership as well as customers...
...brevity, the dialogue does catch the Fitzgerald atmosphere of American expatriate life in Paris during the depression. Unfortunately, the two characters who most represent this slow degeneracy don't look their parts. Robert Reid--playing a painter who doesn't paint, but who does drink--is too youthful and well fed to be convincing. Likewise, pretty Jean Smith's portrayal of the seductress is believable only if the audience closes its eyes. They handle their liens well, but both could have helped their parts by staying up the night before...
...Each of the five scenes is beautifully placed and paced. They are peopled with some fine original types, notably Mildred Dunnock as a tiptoeing mother who achieves a boozy sublimation after the death of her jet-propelled offspring (Muriel Berkson), Jean Stapleton, a triumphantly fun-loving barmaid, and Martita Reid, a Mexican dowager of sufficient force to faze even indomitable Actress Anderson. Director José Quintero has caught some memorable vignettes: a beach picnic, as airily languid as the colored soap bubbles blown by a Mexican girl, and a muddled wedding party, alive with tears and frayed tempers.

Andrew J. Reid, chief intelligence agent at Fort Monmouth, testified that in 1946 a guard caught Coleman leaving the radar laboratories with secret documents. Coleman was asked if he had other such papers at home. "At first, he denied it," said Reid. "The second time, he said 'maybe.' and the third time, he said 'yes.' " A search revealed 43 documents, many of them marked classified, on a desk in Coleman's room. Coleman, called to the stand, told McCarthy he had taken the papers home to study...
Ghost Papers. A key paper in the publishers' united front was the Herald Tribune, which was not directly involved in the strike, since its engraving is done outside its plant. Nevertheless, Trib President Mrs. Helen Rogers Reid brought out one issue of an eight-page paper, then announced that she was suspending publication "until further notice." (She then left on a trip to Paris.) The Trib suspended because the Times made it clear that if the Trib continued to publish, the Times might settle independently with the union, thus probably forcing the others to settle also. Since the Trib...
