Later in the day Dr. White granted still another interview-this time to explain his television remarks. "I indicated that I, personally, as Paul D. White, would have no great desire to undertake such a strain as that imposed upon a President of the U.S.A. This remark could be interpreted as meaning that I would give such advice to the President. Far from it. If the President has a good recovery, as he seems to be on the way to establishing, and if he desires to continue in his present career-which could be, of course, to the great benefit...
...gang moves in, spreads out. In one sudden, sickening instant they have gone through the pleasant, middle-class house like a filthy remark through a roomful of friends; the change in the air is so sharp it can almost be smelled. The householder (Fredric March), a middle-aged department-store executive, gets home from work to find Bogart pointing a gun at the head of his wife (Martha Scott).

The Sultan's chief interests lay in his harem (40 concubines), his garage (60 cars), and his afternoon game of tennis. Yet, as Imam (Commander of the Faithful), he became the man around whom Moroccans in the new Istiqlal (Independence) Party centered their hopes...
...enemies agree, is the courage of burning convictions, however crudely they may be expressed. Many of his worst passages of public hooliganism have proceeded from instances of racial discrimination. He once slugged a waiter who refused to serve a Negro, another time went haywire at an anti-Semitic remark. Baritone Sinatra, riding the wave of success, is no underdog. "But he bleeds for the underdog," says one of his friends, "because he feels like...
