...dailies (all but a dozen of which editorially defend segregation) are now playing desegregation stories "straight down the line," seem less inclined to emphasize news that depicts the Negro in a bad light. Said Shoemaker: "The feeling at first was that any news treatment of the problem would be resented by readers, because it was such a highly touchy subject. Now newspapers have found readers don't resent it, and use their own staffs to cover the problem instead of relying on the news services. There is more reporting in depth...
Thus to the deep Polish hatred of the Nazi conqueror, Stalin added a boundary quarrel to make certain that Germany and Poland should have cause to resent one another eternally and thus preclude any secret alliances. Gomulka was put in charge of the new western territory taken from the Germans. He did Soviet bidding, though he was distressed by Russia's dismantling and removal of factories.

...suggest that a businessman's profit is apt to be without honor, especially in another country; that it is, in effect, bad diplomacy and even worse business to make a dollar and lose a friend. Perhaps no one will argue the point, but every American is entitled to resent the way the point is made. Scriptwriter Robert Ardrey, who worked from the novel by Howard Swiggett, unfortunately felt obliged to revive an ancient canard that has been a dead duck for a long time. Americans, the script suggests, are rich but vulgar; Europeans are poor but cultured...
