...course his circle was far from completed. In 1948 he was chosen by Illinois' Democratic leaders to run for Governor against Republican Dwight Green, whose administration had been splotched by scandal; Stevenson won by a record 572,000 votes and set about riding close herd over a heavily Republican legislature; in 1951 alone, he vetoed no fewer than 134 bills...
...ludicrous, freewheeling propaganda war embittering the atmosphere in the Dominican Republic. Before the current crisis broke 13 weeks ago, Santo Domingo was served by three dailies with a combined circulation of 100,000. All three have suspended publication and have been replaced by wildly improbable, yellow-jaundiced scandal sheets...
...peace talks remained stalemated, and middle-reading liberal Héctor García Godoy continued to be the best bet for provisional President. Meantime, Junta General Antonio Imbert Barreras and Rebel Colonel Francisco Caamaño Deñó were holding their fire. Not so the new scandal press. After having its fun with General Palmer, Patria (which claims 7,000 readers) ran a picture of a Dominican beauty dancing cheek to cheek with a "Yankee invader." Read the caption darkly: "She will pay for her collaboration." The soldier, in fact, was a Brazilian medic...

Manfredi is nearly matched by Monica Vitti, using every tic of her tragicomic trade in The Victim, an offbeat ode to a jealous wife who harangues her husband out of the house. When his best friend (Jean-Pierre Cassel) stops by, she pours out her troubles while he paws out his sympathy. Result: an orgy of absent-minded surrender...
...intimate biography," this gaudy, highly publicized valentine from Producer Joseph E. Levine stars Carroll Baker, suitably bleached and lacquered, as the Blonde Bombshell. Actually, Actress Baker seems more the bomb blonde-shell, as she shallowly traces the famous footsteps that led Harlow from Kansas City to Hollywood scandal, tragedy, and death from uremic poisoning in 1937 at age 26. Under Gordon Douglas' direction, the film takes frequent side trips into those gossamer realms of fiction where high seriousness begins to sound suspiciously like high camp...
