Dore Schary's new play succeeds both as drama and history. Dealing with Franklin Roosevelt's poliomyelitis attack, his recuperation, and his return to political prominence, Sunrise at Campobello not only relates the facts of this most striking of political careers, but also demonstrates real growth in several characters...
...third poem of this issue, "The Return of the Magi" by George Starbuck is neither ambitious nor very successful. It's about taking the Christ out of Christmas and the sing-songy rhythms and rhymes, while appropriate for the subject, walk the poem too hard in places.

...sent to Sheppard A.F.B. in Texas. At both hospitals and at laboratories across the country, tests were made on all kinds of specimens submitted by the doctors. All were bafflingly negative.

There were lots of little complaints-false heart attacks, failing...
...monumental waste of time. They feel, like Douglas Aircraft, that without any help from training schools, "the cream will come to the top and the skimmed milk will stay at the bottom." The management-training-school graduate, they point out, often faces a flock of frustrations on his return to work. "Lots of men feel that being sent to college is like being told they're going to be vice president," says one executive. "When it doesn't happen to them, they're disappointed." Others sulk if management does not readily accept their new ideas. Moreover, some...
