...Hillman died the same year. Lewis' able lieutenant, Philip Murray, held the C.I.O. together by the cohesive pull of his own shining integrity. It took him years to clean out the Communists, an effort that sapped much of the C.I.O.'s energy. When Murray and his bitter rival William Green (both began as coal miners) died within two weeks of each other, it became possible for new men to make a new and serious try at labor unity...
...Rival. Only a month ago, Norodom called a public referendum and got an overwhelming endorsement of his rule. His ministers, however, are considerably less popular. The King's domestic opposition, the left-wing Democratic Party of Jungle Exile Son Ngoc Thanh (TIME, Feb. 21). complained to the neutral Truce Commission recently that King Norodom was about to violate the Geneva agreements. King Norodom had a project afoot to disfranchise Viet Minh Communists in next April's general elections, despite Geneva's insistence that everyone gets a vote.

Wherever a motelman does well, he can soon expect a rival to try to set up an even flossier motel next door...
...book for Snake Oil was like most Drumbeats and Song plots, taking numerous, standard swings at rival colleges, freshman mixers, and Radcliffe food. Written and directed by Michael Vidor, the script and its humor was generally enjoyable, although perhaps overloaded with puns. As Amaryllis-Ann, the oil tycoon's daughter, Rosalind Froug added spark and charm to lines and a characterization which might otherwise have bordered on the routine. Speaking with an outrageous accent or singing with a pleasant, distinct voice, Miss Froug projects an case that is a delight to watch. Her oil-mad father is played by David...
